The Christian faith can make or break you. God longs for all of us to come to embrace “the way of peace”. Jesus longed for that so much so, He began to weep over Jerusalem. The heart of God is revealed in this short passage. It’s our responsibility to respond when we are called. If we don’t, we will be left out of the eternal kingdom, one day when Jesus returns. And there will be no one to blame, except for yourself.
41 But as He came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, He began to weep. 42 “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.44 They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation.”
Luke 19:41-44
