Weeping Over Jerusalem | Easter Week Devotional from Jerusalem

Today we take a look at the story of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem. Despite the stern message, it is a passage that epitomises Jesus' love for the city of Jerusalem, and its inhabitants. He knew this would be the very city in which he would die. The people over who's fate he shed tears were to be those who would call for his humiliation and crucifixion. Despite this fact, Jesus stopped in his moment of triumph, to reveal his heart for Jerusalem.
