What Breaks God’s Heart?
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes." —Luke 19:41-42
The crowds were celebrating as Jesus entered Jerusalem. They cheered and laugh having a great time. While they celebrated, Jesus was weeping for their city and its inhabitants. The crowd was joyful and rejoicing while Jesus is sobbing.
Why was Jesus weeping over Jerusalem?
Could it be He knew what the future held? He knew these fickle people who cried out “Hosanna!” today, would soon call out for his crucifixion.
He understood that one of his handpicked disciples, would secretly betray Him. He also knew Peter would publicly deny knowing Him. He knew that the High Priest Caiaphas, would conspire with the Roman governor to bring about His torturous death. He knew Jerusalem future looking ahead 40 years, He could see its destruction at the hands of Titus the Roman Emperor.
Jesus wept because His ministry was coming to an end. He knew the time was short. He had healed their sick, raised their dead and cleansed their leper’s. He fed the hungry, and had forgiven their sins. For the most part they all had rejected Him.
John 1:11 says, "He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him." And so He wept. This broke His heart, and it still does.
One reason why unbelief and rejection breaks the heart of God is because He knows the consequences.
God will not force open the door of the human heart. He will only gently knock when wanting to gain admittance. He has given us the power to choose life and death But when we make the wrong choice, He knows the repercussions that will follow in this life and the one to come. And His heart is broken.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
God delights in and for us when we trust Him. Nothing gives God greater pleasure than when His children trust Him.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
