Sunday of Jesus Weeping for Jerusalem – Trinity X
04 August 2024
Jesus Weeps for Jerusalem
Our Lord wept over Jerusalem for the destruction that would soon come upon her. For she did not recognize the time of Godās visitation in Christ, who had come to bring her peace (Luke 19:41ā48). Through His prophets God had consistently called His people to turn from their deceit and false worship. āBut My people do not know the judgments of the Lordā (Jer. 8:4ā12). They sought to establish their own righteousness rather than receive Christās righteousness through faith (Rom. 9:30ā10:4). So it was that God was in His temple to cleanse it, a precursor to the once-for-all cleansing from sin which He would accomplish in the temple of His own body on the cross. God grant us to know the things that make for our peaceāHis visitation in the Word and Sacramentsāthat by the Holy Spirit we may penitently confess āJesus is Lordā (1 Cor. 12:1ā11).
