April 29Morning by Morning, April 4 - Jesus Wept Over Jerusalem, but Also with Hope for a Time to Come Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of my heart and every moment of my day. ... One day the crowds welcomed You with shouts of joy into Jerusalem. Another day soon to come they would cry out with shouts of anger to crucify You outside the gates of that same city. And what comes to mind this morning is the mournful cry of Your heart over that city in between those two days: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Matthew 23:37-39). The hardened heart of Israel broke Your heart. And today, every hardened heart that doesn’t understand the depths of Your love or the eternal cost of Your sacrifice or the power of Your grace in the mercy of Your love to change their lives now and for all eternity continues to break Your heart. And if we have Your heart and mind, if we are the Body of Christ in this world with the Spirit of Christ filling our hearts, that should break our hearts too. That should move us in prayer over our cities and move us in action to share the hope that’s in us, flowing out our hearts that are fully surrendered to You. Come, Holy Spirit. Give me the heart of Jesus for my city, for this generation in my world. Only Jesus has the power to change desolate lives and replace that with living hope. During this Holy Week when more people are thinking about Jesus, when the world wonders why there’s such a world-wide movement that’s lasted for centuries, even for two thousand years of followers of Jesus, I pray for hearts to be turned to You. And I pray for that myself and all Your disciples will reach out to hearts that can be opened to You. Even for Israel who could not see You in their day and missed their day of visitation, You spoke a word of hope: “You shall see Me no more till you, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (v. 39). The word “till” means there will come a day when Israel will see You, when Israel shall cry out, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” That will be a fulfillment of many prophecies one day, including the Prophecy of Zechariah: “And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn” (Zechariah 12:10). And one day even the Prophecy of the Apostle Paul, who carried Your passion for Jerusalem and all of Israel, will be fulfilled: “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins’” (Romans 11:25-27) It’s hard for us the grasp Your heart and Your eternal perspective and Your heart to “have mercy on all” (Romans 11:32). I know I don’t have it all figured out. But I see these things of both mourning and mercy, grief and hope, in Your words and Your cry over Jerusalem that day. Let our mourning for what is broken lead us to joy for what will be healed, let our grieve for what is lost lead us to joy for what will be found. Let our sorrow and sadness over what is desolate and dead le us to a living hope for what will be filled with life -- resurrection life that we only have in Christ alone. For every soul that we mourn over and pray over who’s presently hardened their hearts to Your mercy and love, let us pray with expectant faith for the day of their “till” -- “till” they see You and cry out to You and welcome You as the One who comes in the name of the Lord! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
