The importance and significance of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, weeping over the sinners who would perish in the destruction of Jerusalem, cannot be underestimated. It is something for all of Christ’s followers to carefully consider. The multitude which just a few moments before had been rejoicing over Jesus as their King, and praising Him for the mighty works which He had done, were still following Him. They were accompanying Him into Jerusalem. And they no doubt then saw Him as He drew near and dismounted off the colt that He was riding. They were there when He took a long and steady look at the city which had been loved and cared for by God. And then He began to weep. This afternoon I would like to make 3 observations on the weeping of Jesus. 1st of all – Jesus wept over the former glory of the temple and the nation. 2nd – He wept over His enemies rather than just His friends. And 3rd – We need to see that Jesus also wept over what they were willfully ignorant of. It is my prayer that all Christians would learn to weep over the same kinds of things that our Lord wept over.
