As A Hen Gathers Her Chicks

This afternoon I want to speak to you about these amazing words spoken by the Lord Jesus as a lament over Jerusalem so that you might see His passion for the salvation of Jerusalem sinners. We will look 1st of all at the Charge which the Lord Jesus brings against Jerusalem as a city. (verse 37a) 2nd – We will look at the Longing of Christ to gather these Jerusalem sinners to Himself. (verse 37b) And 3rd – We will look at the Desolation of unbelief and the Blessedness of faith in Christ. (verses 38 and 39) It is my prayer that each of us would see in the desire and actions of our Lord Jesus, the ultimate model of a soul-winner, and that each of us would, by God's grace, develop every good longing in ourselves for the salvation of sinners, and bring those longings into fruition, in thinking of how we ourselves might be wise and win souls to Christ.
