Jesus’ lament over Jerusalem is triggered by a plot of the Jews to drive Him to Jerusalem, where they could execute their plans to kill Him. Jesus’ response is a powerful example for those of us tempted from the inside by our fears and from the outside by multiple limiting factors. Nothing and nobody can deter Jesus from accomplishing His mission! Knowing God’s purpose for your life, understanding Bible prophecies, and loving people are three anchors for your soul in the most critical moments.
