Our paragraph topic is: (Lamentation over Jerusalem) Part 2.
Christ cried out for the city on the hill, Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem! He loved the city and the people within it. His passion for them was deeply held within him for he knew what was to happen. Yet with all the effort to stop the trials and tribulations nothing happened. Messengers were sent, prophets were delivered so that the people would hear the message but the city would not have it.
Christ knew. He saw the past and the future of the city. He knew what would happen and his heart wept for the people and especially for the children. He cried: "How often would I have gathered thy children together." The children that he so loved and cared for that he wanted to protect but could not. The little ones that were so precious to him who's hearts were so full of love who's lives were cut short. These were the ones that he wanted to protect, to provide for but could not because the city would not.
Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem, why did it have to be this way. Sin City, Sin City, why do you call us to do the things that we do? Why do you corrupt? Why do you create greed? Why do you cause us to slander? Why do you cause us to loose all our morals just to seek the false glitze and glamour of the bright lights of your city? Sin City, even the children are brought here to be influenced at an early age.
We cry and we weep for we must have the life that is flashed before us daily, in our lives and in our dreams. These are our goals. This is what we live for and what we die for, to live the golden life. And yet we do not realize that we already have the golden life. It has already been given us. Christ came that we would have it and have it more abundantly. But we do not understand that it is already there for us. We are blinded by the glitz and glamour of the bright lights of the world and what it has to offer.
What thing of value can a man offer for his own soul? There is nothing more valuable in this world than a man's soul. Lose not your own!
