Jesus Mourns for Jerusalem
LUKE 13:31-35
Page 168
Were the Pharisees who warned Jesus trying to help Him or trick Him into getting out of town? It’s truly hard to say…however, there’s no doubt in Jesus’ mind about who was in control: Jesus, and Jesus only. What does that tell you about His mindset as He was heading up to Jerusalem?
In just a matter of days, Jesus would pray, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,” as He was being nailed to the cross. What does it tell you about Jesus’ heart to hear Him lament over the very people and city that would ultimately conspire to kill Him? What does that tell you about His heart for you?
