We do not err because truth is difficult to see. It is visible at a glance. We err because this is more comfortable.

What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are. - C. S. LEWIS, The Magician's Nephew

Gospel Text: (LK 19:41-44)

As Jesus drew near Jerusalem,

he saw the city and wept over it, saying,

“If this day you only knew what makes for peace–

but now it is hidden from your eyes.

For the days are coming upon you

when your enemies will raise a palisade against you;

they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides.

They will smash you to the ground and your children within you,

and they will not leave one stone upon another within you

because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

Unbelief and rejection breaks God's heart, because He knows the consequences. But when the door of the human heart is shut, He refuses to enter forcibly. He will only knock, wanting to gain admittance. He has given us the ability to choose. But when we choose the wrong thing, He knows the repercussions that will follow—in this life and the one to come. And His heart is broken. – That is why Jesus wept today in the Gospel passage noted above.
