Scripture:

Luke 19:41 "But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep...44 because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation".

Observation:

As Jesus approached the city of Jerusalem, He began to weep. He realized that destruction was coming and that they had missed the time of their visitation. The King of all Kings had been with them, but they missed their opportunity. Jesus was broken hearted because He realized they would be destroyed.

Application:

It is important that we view the world like Jesus did. He was broken hearted when He realized they were going to be destroyed. He realized they were missing the day of their visitation. May we understand that we are living in the last days and a time of terrible destruction is right around the corner. May we make the most of every opportunity and live each day knowing that destruction is coming, but that there is a way of escape through Jesus Christ. May those around us accept the day of their opportunity. There is not much more time before the coming of the Lord. What we do, we must do quickly.

Prayer:

Lord, let my heart break for my city like Yours broke for Jerusalem. May Ashburn Virginia not miss the day of Your visitation. Let me be aware of You coming and live accordingly. Keep my eyes on You and my heart on the harvest. Please don't let Ashburn miss the day of your visitation!
Amen
