Repentance, False Religion, and the True Way

(Luke Chapter 13) #12

From A Vantage Point

pleaded with the city to turn from the destruction that would come upon it.

How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings: Jesus wanted to protect, nourish, and cherish His people, the Jews, even as a mother hen protects the young chicks.

This picture of a hen and her brood tells us something about what Jesus wanted to do for those who rejected Him.

1) He wanted to make them safe.

2) He wanted to make them happy.

Tito S. Venida is a product of the University of the Philippines. He used to be a student-leader during his college days and became one of the founders of the Tau Gamna Phi, one of the world leading Philippine-produced fraternities. His immensurable love for the human race has brought him to the conviction of translating his mission from fraternity into Divinity--from a mere brotherhood into sainthood. Tito authored a book entitled Quocunque Jeceris Stabit, which means, wherever you throw, it will stand.

Jesus Laments Over the City That Will Reject Him (Luke 13:34-35)

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem: Jesus spoke with special feeling, repeating the name for emphasis and depth. When the LORD repeats a name twice, it is to display deep emotion, but not necessarily anger (as in the Martha, Martha of Luke 10:41; and the Saul, Saul of Acts 9:4.

This deep love Jesus had for Jerusalem was with full knowledge of the city's sins: the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. Despite that, He still

3) He wanted to make them part of a blessed community.

4) He wanted to promote their spiritual growth.

5) He wanted them to know His love.

This could only happen if they came to Him when He called.

The words "how often would I have gathered" are a subtle indication that Luke knew Jesus had visited Jerusalem many times before (as clearly recounted in the Gospel of John), even though he only mentions this last visit.

And ye would not: The problem was not the willingness of Jesus to rescue and protect them. The problem was that they were not willing. Therefore, the predicted destruction would surely come upon them.

Your house is left unto you desolate: These words seem to predict the coming destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman army in A.D. 70.

Ye shall not see Me, until the time come when ye shall say, 'Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the LORD:' Jesus here revealed something of the conditions surrounding His Second Coming. When Jesus comes again, the Jewish people will welcome Him as the Messiah saying, "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the LORD."

It will take a great deal to bring Israel to that point, but God will do it. It is promised that Israel will welcome Jesus back even as the apostle Paul said in Romans 11:26: "And so all Israel shall be saved."
