As Jesus came near Jerusalem, riding on a donkey, the people shouted His praises and wanted to make Him their earthly King -- then and there. But Luke writes, "Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it" (Luke 19:41, NKJV). Jerusalem (and the nation) had God's Word that the Messiah would come and save them. But when He came they didn't recognize Him because their hearts were hardened toward God. They knew what was written but failed to take it to heart.
Do you think God ever weeps over your City? Jesus said to Jerusalem, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace." (NKJV)
But, how about you, fellow Christian. Do you have peace? You may have made peace with God but how about the peace of God that is so wonderful it is beyond understanding. God is longing for His people to come back to Him, love Him, and obey Him. could it be that your city -- my city doesn't have peace because the turmoil in our lives keeps us from sharing the good news that Jesus has come to save?
