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.
Do
we sometimes behave like the inhabitants of Jerusalem even today?
