Jesus weeps over Jerusalem

Sept 7 – Jesus cries over Jerusalem –  Matt 23:37-39

        This account is one of the most powerful in the New Testament because it portrays how God views cities and people in general.  Jesus says:

1.       Jerusalem killed the prophets and Christ wanted to gather them in as a hen gathers in its chicks.
2.       Jerusalem was not willing to repent so it would be left desolate.
3.       They would not see Him again until they were ready to say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” 
4.       A time is coming for the city of Jerusalem for another visitation.  Is it ready and are you?
