What Makes the Lord WEEP?

AM Service

In Luke 19:41-44 and Psalm 91:1, the focus remains on the profound themes of Christ's impending Death, Burial, and Resurrection. The narrative emphasizes Jesus’ awareness of God's condemnation and wrath towards humanity, as He gazes over the city entrusted to Israel. This observation reveals the deep emotional turmoil within Him as He perceives not only the physical surroundings but also the spiritual and emotional state of the people. Their hatred, devastation, and utter destruction are poignant reminders of their spiritual decline. Jesus, noted for His compassion, weeps—a sentiment captured in John 11:35—highlighting His empathy towards their unbelief, anxieties, and suffering. His sorrow stems from witnessing the people's inclination towards sin, self-interest, and a profound doubt in God’s omnipotence and promises. This grief is deepened by their tragic fate, a reflection of the anti-Christ spirit present in the contemporary world, characterized by anti-peace, pro-hate sentiments. The text parallels the current society's rejection of faith in God, portraying a culture that favors fleshly desires and alignment with satanic influences. The introspective question posed invites readers to reflect on whether the Lord Jesus mourns for their spiritual state, desires, and actions, prompting a personal examination of one's own faith and relationship with God amidst a world rife with ungodliness.
