“And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.”
Luke 19:41-42 KJV
When Jesus caught sight of the city, He burst into tears with uncontrollable weeping over Jerusalem, saying, “If only you could recognize that this day peace is within your reach! But you cannot see it.” Jesus was the only One weeping while everyone else was rejoicing. As the Son of Man, Jesus identified with the people of Jerusalem because He knew that He would be betrayed and that they were going to reject Him. The prophets before had prophesied, “For thus has the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.” God knows the grief when mankind rejects His love and the Blood Sacrifice of His Son, our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. He loves us so much because God is love. Amen!
