Luke 19:28-44

Jesus is nearing the end of His earthly ministry. He is still teaching, still engaging with His disciples, still sharing His truth with all who will hear. When He enters Jerusalem, the people rejoice! They shout His praises and blessings, reveling in the miracles they have seen.

But after all this, Jesus weeps over the city of Jerusalem, because He knows the true hearts of the people.

Here we are at the end of our Lenten season, preparing to enter into Holy Week, and this weekend in worship we will be the ones shouting praises and blessings, reveling in the miracles we have seen and heard of.

But I wonder...will Jesus be weeping over us because He knows our rue hearts? What do our true hearts tell us? Do we recognize that God has come to us?

I hope you will ponder, and pray, and know that God HAS come to us...and for us.

peace,
Pastor Judi Hunt
