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.
