Lament over Jerusalem
36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather yourchildren together,as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling! 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.…Jesus in Matthew 23

• Jesus Lamented over Jerusalem because of the coming devastation the Romans would inflict on His city
• Some of the ruling Council members of the Sanhedrin were at war with Him
• He knew most of the High Council had at this point rejected His authority
• The principal members would soon vote to put Jesus to death
• Without proper representation
• Without the proper witnesses against Him
• Yet, Jesus laments to the point of sadness over His city. The City of Peace or Peaceful CIty
• Jesus was, even until His death, loving His ungrateful children.
• Thursday would be a turn of events that Jesus would begin His Via Dolorosa of pain…

• If you are still fighting Jesus in your life, don’t be like those in the High Council, don’t reject Jesus

• Call on Him & ask Him to forgive you about everything you have done that is contrary to His commands, love, and peace
• Get to know Jesus and have Him save you from your own destruction…
