"For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation." (Luke 19:43-44)
Friends, ignorance is not bliss.
Jesus, while weeping over the city, pronounces the judgement that will fall upon the city. He prophesies destruction, a merciless killing brought on by the enemies of Israel. He does this while the crowd shouts His praises and lines the streets of the city.
Friends, as we draw near to the end of Lent, let's be careful to not attend services out of habit... or just to follow the crowd... or to get a closer look at the Lord for the sake of "paparazzi-ism" rather than for the sake of a deeper relationship with Him.
Lord, please teach us of Your ways so that we will not be swept away with the ignorant crowd. Amen.
