Friday
Read Luke 13:31-35
31 At that same time some Pharisees
came to Jesus and said to him, “You must get out of here and go somewhere else,
because Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell
that fox: ‘I am driving out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and
on the third day I shall finish my work.’ 33Yet I must be on my way
today, tomorrow, and the next day; it is not right for a prophet to be killed
anywhere except in Jerusalem.
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill
the prophets, you stone the messengers God has sent you! How many times have I
wanted to put my arms round all your people, just as a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings, but you would not let me! 35And so your Temple will
be abandoned. I assure you that you will not see me until the time comes when
you say, ‘God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”
Think
Jesus laments the difficulty of telling the truth to Israel. Are we willing to hear Jesus tell us the
truth?
