Weep for Jerusalem!


"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You kill with
rocks those men that God sent to you. Many, many times I
wanted to help your people. I wanted to gather your people
together like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But
you did not let me. Now your house will be left completely
empty. I tell you, you will not see me again until that time
when you will say, 'Welcome! God bless the one that comes in
the name of the Lord.'"

-- Matthew 23:37-39 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
Cities have always made a key impact on the heart of God. They are
places of crime and evil, but they are also places of people with great
need. They are places of power and government and they are places of
family and friends. But Jerusalem was special. It was the place of
God's dwelling, the Temple. It was the city of sojourn, where
Israelites came from all over the world on pilgrimages. Jerusalem was
also the city of rejection when it refused Jesus. Jesus knows this
means Jerusalem is headed for destruction. Her people have not just
rejected him, they have rejected hope, promise, and future. Jesus will
die outside the city of Jerusalem, rejected by every level of religious
and civil authority. Jerusalem will claim no other king but Caesar and
seal her own fate. It is a time of great sorrow. The Old Testament
rises up and haunts us with its great stories of deliverance for
Jerusalem. It reminds us of God's love for the people of a city, even
the great cities of Israel's enemies. So we know that Jesus' tears are
God's tears for his people, their city, and their future. God longs for
the cities to ring with the cry, "Jesus is Lord." But Jerusalem will
have none of it. What else can you do but weep?


TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Lord, God of the ages, please bless the great cities of our land. May
we help take the name of Jesus to the people of these cities so they
will not be lost without hope and without you. Give me a heart more
like your own for the cities. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NIRV (New International Reader's Version)

God Gives Comfort

3 Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the Father who gives tender love. All comfort comes from him. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles. Now we can comfort others when they are in trouble. We ourselves have received comfort from God. 5 We share the sufferings of Christ. We also share his comfort.

Psalm 89:11-17








The heavens belong to you. The earth is yours also. You made the world and everything that is in it. You created everything from north to south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing to you with joy. Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is mighty. Your kingdom is built on what is right and fair. Your truth and faithful love lead the way in front of you. Blessed are those who have learned to shout praise to you. Lord, they live in the light of your favor. All day long they are full of joy because of who you are. They praise you because you do what is right. You are their glory. You give them strength. You favor them by honoring our king. Psalm 89:11-17

To the Ground!


Jesus left the temple area and was walking away. But his
followers came to him to show him the temple's buildings.
Jesus asked the followers, "Are you looking at these
buildings? I tell you the truth. They will be destroyed.
Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone
will be left on another." Later, Jesus was sitting at a place
on the Mount of Olives. The followers came to be alone with
Jesus. They said, "Tell us when these things will happen. And
what will happen to show us that it is time for you to come
again and time for the world to end?" Jesus answered: "Be
careful! Don't let any person fool you. Many people will come
and use my name. They will say, 'I am the Christ.' And they
will fool many people."

-- Matthew 24:1-5 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
"When will this be?" That's a question that's been asked for ages,
isn't it! But Jesus didn't really answer that question in the way they
would have liked! In fact, there isn't much about this whole deal they
do like! The two scenes recounted here take place in front of the
Temple as they were leaving it, and overlooking the Temple from the
Mount of Olives. The Temple was the powerful reminder to all Jews of
God's abiding presence among his people. They wanted to focus on the
beauty of this Temple. But Jesus wants them to focus on the permanence
of the real Temple, himself! If they were to find God from now on, they
must look to him! No one else was going to be able to save them! In
fact, Jesus' message to us is still the same: No building, no place can
save you. Only I can save. "But when is that going to be, Jesus?" We
want to know the time, too. But Jesus doesn't give us the answer.
Instead, he challenges us to be faithful and despite the tumult of the
times, look to him and not be misled by all the false teachers and
false prophets!


TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy Father, I find it so easy to trust in myself and in the things
around me, especially my religious things. Help me Father to look to
Jesus and rely upon him as my only source of hope and future. Come Lord
Jesus with power! In your name, Son of God, I pray. Amen.
