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.
