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
