Evening: Psalm 73; Luke 19:41-48
When I was a boy, “Jesus wept!” was a curse. Later, I discovered Jesus actually did
weep when he stood overlooking Jerusalem and its temple. He wept for
the terrible state of the city’s civic and spiritual life. He lamented
that Jerusalem had not found the path to peace. He grieved that the
temple had lost its moral compass and become a marketplace instead of a
centre for spiritual renewal. Do you think the state of our modern
cities and temples would make Jesus weep? So what would Jesus do next?
Sometimes that old cliché is a good question.
