The Tears of God Over His People

August 23, 2020 - In our the Holy Gospel of St. Luke 19, Christ our God approaches Jerusalem to make His Triumphal Entrance. As Jesus approaches Jerusalem we are told that He wept over the city. This revelation of Christ mourning over His people is given to us as a revelation of God's heart and disposition to all mankind. God mourned because they denied the unspeakable benefits He had come to bestow upon them. And, He wept because of the suffering that He knew would be the result of their will choosing away from Him. The tears of God flowed from His immeasurable love for mankind for which He had come to gather to Himself and shower all of the benefits of His Kingdom upon them all.
