Weeping Jesus

 

My morning meditation:

“Jesus began to weep” Luke 19:41

“When Jesus saw the city (Jerusalem), He wept over it”

The tragedy of the opportunities the people missed, caused the Lord Jesus to weep.  He could have wiped the dust from His feet against them, but His divine heart was broken in sorrow for a people that rejected God’s king.

They observed God’s religion, but missed the Messiah. They needed peace, but refused the Prince of Peace. They could have known intimacy with God, but they rejected God’s Son.

The prophetic statement of the Lord Jesus has been fulfilled:

n  Too late

n     They will crush you

n        Scattered

n  Why – “  Because you have rejected the opportunity God offered you”.

n  So sad for Jerusalem, so traumatic for Israel, but equally tragic for all who reject Jesus , God’s Messiah, God’s King, God’s Son.

n   

n       “But to as many as received Him, He gave the right to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His Name” John 1:12

Oh how blessed to be one of His own.
