—Luke 19:41-48
by: Gem Barton.
Jesus wept over Jerusalem because He saw the destruction that would come upon that city and its inhabitants, as He described in Mathew 23:37-39. Jesus also cleansed the temple of the sellers, telling them that His house was to be a house of prayer and not a den of robbers. What do you think Jesus sees when He looks upon us? What would He call our places of worship—a house of prayer or something else? While Jesus was grieved over His people and cleansing the temple, the religious sect was planning how to kill Him. Thank God Almighty, He is alive!
