Ep. 134 | Posture: Compassion | Carolyn Van Meter

from The Modern Methodist · host Resurrection GMC

Picture this: Jesus stands on a hill overlooking Jerusalem, and instead of triumph or anger, tears stream down His face. In that moment, we see the heart of God revealed - not a distant judge, but a loving Father who grieves when His children miss what could bring them peace. Jesus wept because the people He loved couldn't see that He was their answer. They were so focused on their religious routines and self-sufficiency that they missed the very presence of God among them. His tears weren't just for Jerusalem's future destruction, but for every heart that remains closed to His love. Today, God's heart still breaks when we choose our own way over His. But here's the beautiful truth: His tears are evidence of His deep love for you. He doesn't weep because He's disappointed in you, but because He knows the abundant life He wants to give you. When you feel distant from God, remember that He's not angry - He's reaching out with the same compassionate heart that wept over Jerusalem.For more info visit RGMCA.ORG
