Jesus, the Weeping Prophet?

Last week we saw how Jesus was a prophet of doom as he warned the Pharisees of the coming judgment. In the next text, we see the compassion of Jesus as he laments over Jerusalem and describes his willingness to save. We will consider the mystery of God’s sovereignty and the compassion of Christ in the free offer of the gospel. This is important for us to understand, so that we might show the compassion of Christ in our lives today. The message is entitled Jesus, the Weeping Prophet? Scripture reference:  Matthew 23:37-39
We will consider these four points:
1. The cause of Jesus’ sorrow.
2. the willingness of Jesus to save.
3. The only hope of salvation.
4. The application to our faith today.
