MATTHEW 23: 37
O JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM, Thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.
This is a passionate cry from the Heart of the Holy One, JESUS the Christ. JESUS wept over the hardness of the heart of the people He came to save. Today, He is weeping over those who willfully reject the love that He offers freely.
JESUS paid the total price for our redemption, by the offering of Himself as the perfect, unblemished Lamb. His Blood reconciles us to GOD and by His wounds, we are healed. He laid down His life, willingly. His great love brought Him to Calvary.
Yes, He would have gathered all our children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and He gathers us now under His wing. JESUS is within the Heart of the Father and in our Heart when we embrace Him. When we believe in Him, He gathers us under His wings and we are safe in the shelter of the Almighty.
And yet He weeps for those who reject Him and reject His love.
Weep with Him about the hardened hearts and give His love to them, as a free will offering. The song goes like this: bring them in, bring the wondering ones to JESUS. Reach out with His love and gather in those who cry out for help. This is our mission; this is our ministry: this is our thank offering to the Holy One.
THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR LOVE.
