Our paragraph topic is: (Lamentation over Jerusalem) Part 7.
Christ ends his commentary to the Scribes and the Pharisees with a prophesy. He wants them to know that he has told them before hand what will happen and how it will happen. He has given them every opportunity to open their hearts and minds to the truth but they are unwilling to see the light. They are blind to the wisdom that comes forth from who they see and perceive as being a commoner, a charlatan attempting to mislead the people and disturb the peace.
They live in fear. They live in doubt. They live in disbelief of their own religion. They are the leaders responsible for leading the flock to God and they know him not. Christ told them that he was leaving, they would not see him any more. It would not be: "Until you shall say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!' "
This was the prophesy that was to come. This was the message that was to be spoken by those who would see the coming of the kingdom of heaven on the day of judgment. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord to save the people from damnation. On that day the people will know the truth of his name.
On that day all knees will bend and heads will bow to the Lord of all creation. For he will judge all, the living and the dead. All things hidden will be revealed. All things unknown will be known. All that we have feared will be open to understanding, for we all will be able to see the truth that has been hidden since the beginning of time.
We were not given the knowledge to understand, to comprehend all things. This is the nature of who we are, the essence of our being. Yet we have, as human beings, the capability to perceive and do great wonders within our realm of existence. God has given us the ability to love, to hate, to feel, to know, to see, to understand, to perceive, conceive, to believe beyond ourselves that which we do not know but can imagine. We are the lowly creations without full knowledge, but we have the ability to understand on a limited basis what we know. And it is that knowledge that allows us to conceive and believe in our God and his love for us.
We are the children of the Creator. He has life and has shared his life eternal with us that we may know him in our limited capacity. To grasp a small portion of his love for us is so powerful that it will fill to capacity every cell in our mind, body and soul. We can not contain the truth of it. But it is there for us to receive if we choose to seek it, if we choose to find it, if we choose to know a small portion of the passion of Christ in God. Seek him and ask to know his love.
