View the post for February 17 for an explanation of my Lenten Project As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. While the crowd of disciples joyfully sang praises, blessings, and hosannas as they entered Jerusalem, Jesus wept. He saw the storm that was coming. He grieved for those who had closed their eyes to him. He knew that even his disciples would all abandon him for a time before they would understand who he was. He grieved for the world lost in sin. We also need to grieve for the world. For only when we truly grieve like Jesus did we will have the courage to share the story of Jesus to those who need to know the way through their storm to the light of dawn.
Prayer Jesus Give us eyes to grieve as you did that day and the compassion to share your love with those who don’t know you. May our lives and our words show them the way through the storm to your peace. Amen
