1.     Jesus wept over Jerusalem.

§  Luke 19:41- Jesus show beyond the outward of Jerusalem

§  Jesus wept because of the great privileges that were being abused. He wept because of the great possibilities that were rejected. He also wept because of the great punishment he knew was coming on the city and the people. Jerusalem had abandoned its faith, rejected the Messiah, and would be laid to waste with terrible judgment. This was their day opportunity. Jesus made himself available to them, but they nailed Him to the cross.

§  He sees spiritual condition of the city.

§  Revelation 2:2- He sees beyond the outward in a church. He looks beyond your deed.

§  Every act of disobedience bring pain to God.

§  you can’t have sin & win at the same time.

§  Repentance is the only way to turn away from sin.

2.     He cares about you.

§  Luke 19:41 – He wept because He cares about people in Jerusalem.

§  Isaiah 52:3

3.     He knows your full potentials.

§  Luke 19:42

§  The reference to "this day" is emphatic and reveals that there is something about this day that makes Jesus sorrowful. But why? The reason is that "this day" had the potential to bring "things which make for peace." God gives you and reveals you your full potential of your life.

§  Psalm 139:13-16

4.     Jesus desire to give us peace.

§  Luke 19:42

§  Ironically, Jerusalem means “City of Peace.”

§  Israel's Messiah on this day could bring the kingdom and its blessings. This "peace" must be more than just individual salvation. 

§  John 14:27- Jesus left the Peace that passes all understanding 

§  Peace He left is a confidence that He is always with us, so we can experience peace.

§  Safety consists not in the absence of trouble BUT safety comes in the presence of Lord.

BE AN OVER COME in Jesus name.
