Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net.

Luke chapter 19 verse 41 and when Jesus drew near and saw the city he wept over it.

What a simple, short, significant verse, one of two times where we see Jesus weeping in the Gospels.

Think John Chapter 11, verse 35, when Mary comes running out to Jesus,

her brother Lazarus has died, presumably in part because Jesus didn't make it there in time to help and she's weeping.

She falls at his feet weeping.

Now Jesus knows what he is about to do.

He's about to raise Lazarus from the dead, but he sees Mary's tears and he weeps with her.

She just weeps with those who weep, with his children who weep. How powerful a picture is that and then so now this time in

Luke chapter 19 verse 41 Jesus weeping but it's not weeping with people who are hurting, it's weeping over a city full of people who is rejecting him,

who in the days to come will crucify him and Jesus is weeping over them. What a powerful

picture like it's one thing to weep with Mary and Martha over the death of

Lazarus and these are his close friends that he spent time with.

Now he's weeping over the people who are going to kill him.

We're going to crucify him in the most cruel form of murder they could imagine.

He's weeping over them because he longs for them to know his father's love.

That's why he's going to the cross because he loves them. And so he weeps over their

souls, over their rejection of him. And so I would just ask like when was the last time you or I wept over people who either one do not know Jesus like weeping over those who are lost or two to take it a step further, weeping over those who are lost and maybe who are your enemies,

maybe who oppose you, maybe who would want to hurt you like that's the level here of weeping

So God we pray make our hearts more like Jesus make my heart I pray more like Jesus. Make my heart, I pray more like Jesus.

I pray that over every single person who's listening right now.

Make their hearts more like Jesus.
