Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!

How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!

Luke 13:34

Jesus had a deep love, like most Jewish people, for Jerusalem.

His parents regularly brought him to the city for religious festivals and observances

(cf. Luke 2:41) so he was very familiar with it.

His love for Jerusalem is evident in his lament that the beloved people have not embraced his ministry or God’s way of living.

Instead Jesus experiences rejection from those whom he cares for the most and yet he persists in following the call God has on his life.

Join us Sunday as we explore Jesus’ unceasing love for God’s people.
