Greetings Dear Reader,
When Jesus weeps over Jerusalem it is because they have
rejected him. It is because his offer to
redeem them is met with unbelief. His
heart breaks for what he could have done for them.
This is the day that he foretells her destruction. They have traded faith and following for
pride and independence. They want a conquering
King and do not recognize him as the Pascal Lamb. There is also the paradox of omniscience.
The Father is an ever-omniscient counter-puncher. The offer is genuine. Knowing the outcome and preparing the next
move is chess not dishonesty. The Son offers, the people reject, and the
Father counters. The stage is set. For three years the Son has shown all that
can be had by loving the Father with all one’s heart.
The people want a champion.
They do not see that the one who weeps for them is more than a
champion. We do not know where Jesus
passes the night. We do know he carries
the sorrow of a reject betrothed. He
already holds the weight of dismissal and rejection.
He has acted the obedient servant. This is his role for now and he understands
it. He weeps for city worth dying for. He sleeps whilst other things continue to
move. The Pharisees seek an answer to
destroy him. And another is thinking to
push him to act with Authority.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
