He beheld the city,
and wept over it? Luke 19:41
“As Jesus looked over the city of Jerusalem he said, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” Matthew 13:37
As the city of London closes down maybe some might ask is God interested in cities? People in cities are being blamed for behaving irresponsibly and images are being flashed over our screens of devastation in cities from China to Italy as a result of COVID-19. Does God care? In a word “Yes he does.”
This incident in the life of Jesus is a reminder that God loves cities. As Jesus looked over the city of Jerusalem one day he wept. It was not out of anger but pity for a people he loved. He loved them so much He was willing to die for them. John 3:16
The problem was the city was not interested in him! They rejected His claims to be the Son of God depsite the mighty miracles of healing and raising the dead. Sadly our own capital has turned it’s back on God and His word and while Jesus Christ still stands today and calls out “Come unto me,” still they will not come preferring rather the pleasures of the world which God says are but for a season.
Jerusalem went further, not only would they not come to Jesus Christ but they took the Son of God and crucified Him outside the city walls. The very one who could save them from their sins, they rejected and spat upon because they did not like his diagnosis. The diagnosis of sin is painful news but the cure is 100% guaranteed. It is the gift of God which is Eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Don’t hold back today but come to the Lord Jesus Christ and listen to His promise: “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Matt 11:28. ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.’
Acts 16:31

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Prov 14v12
