The text of today dwells on the theme of Jesus’ rejection by the
religious elders. The city Jerusalem, whose name contains the word peace, does
not recognise the King of Peace, Jesus Christ. Jesus’ tears for Jerusalem are
because she did not recognise that if she accepted him as Messiah, true peace
would indeed reign.
The numerous attempts of Jesus to win over the people were
met with stiff resistance. They had closed their minds and hearts to anything
that he had to say because it did not fit in with what they had already set
their minds to believe.
There are times in our lives when we 'conveniently' believe what suits us and reject many other truths. In doing so we are like the people of the city of Jerusalem who have closed ourselves to the revelation that God continually makes. We must develop the ability to find God in all things and all things in God.
