O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! Jesus. Matthew 23:37
Hey, I’m Nathan, and this is Day 23 of 30 Days Watching Jesus. The heart of Jesus toward his enemies—his haters—How often I wanted to heal, to comfort, uplift, make whole. It didn’t happen. Not because he was not willing—but because they would have none of it. These words of Jesus expose to us the steady disposition of God’s heart—always toward others, whether enemies or not. Ever working. Ever loving. Ever uplifting. This is who God is. How God is. It is the constant example of Jesus—always pressing in towards people. Always liberal. Always giving away. Always full of grace.
