Matthew 23:37; Luke 19:41-46
1. Why did Jesus groan and weep?
Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalem when the day of peace is hidden from their eyes but the days will come upon them when their enemies will build an embankment against them and dash them to the ground because they did not recognize the time of God's coming to you.
Jesus often longed to gather His children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but they were not willing.
Revelations 21:1-4
2. When will groaning cease?
During the new heaven and a new earth.
A loud voice from the throne says, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
This is meant to be a blog where I penn down the further study of my daily devotion using Selwyn's material: Everyday with Jesus.
Being Real in the Psalms
July-August 2009
Anger, fear, envy, despair, shame … How many of these emotions have you experienced? And would you admit this, to others or to God?
In this issue, Selwyn looks at the so-called ‘uncomfortable psalms’, those which express deep hurt and anguish. Recognising that these psalms have been included in God’s Word, we can conclude that we need not deny we feel certain emotions.
Instead, we are called to acknowledge every emotion and be entirely open before God. It is only as we ‘become real’ with Him that we experience more of His 'realness' – freedom, peace, transformation.
