In the second chapter of Luke, Simeon prophesies that Jesus will bring about the rise and fall of many, and will be a cause of division, a sign to be opposed in Israel.
We are shown how deeply divided the nation is on the day of Jesus' death as Luke presents to us a cast of characters from Pilate to the High Priest of Israel, from the two thieves to the centurion at the foot of the cross.
One group that is often overlooked in this crowd of faces are the 'Daughters of Jerusalem,' who followed after Jesus weeping and lamenting.
What are they weeping for? They do not believe that Jesus is the Christ, much less are they aware that the Son of God is about to be slain. There weeping is based on a sorrow over the tragedy of the crucifixion of a good man.
This sort of sorrow is often replicated by people who are willing to acknowledge that the death of Jesus was sad and tragic. Yet Jesus is not willing to accept such sorrow. He rebukes their tears and urges them to weep for themselves and the horror to come when the wrath of God will be poured out upon all those who have turned aside from the claim of Jesus to be Lord and Christ.
