"And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the thing which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation".
The interesting thing about those verses is that Jews didn't recognize the Savior. I think that there were two reason because He cried when saw the city. The first is for their hardness and the second is because He knew the thing will happen the Jews people.
Now reflecting when Jesus saw the city and cried, can be a metaphor of us. We are in the world surrounded of people and when He saw in my direction what is He seeing? when He see me, what can He see?
When I was visit Jerusalem five years ago I was in the same place when Jesus saw the city and then cried, and one thing that shocked me it was, what about if I was one of those who didn't recognize Him and one of His tear it was for me, because I am hardness.
When I looked my personal life and the thing that I have done, is tough to admit that multiple time I have been like one of those people in Jerusalem that even though Him, they preferred not recognize Him as the Savior and His King.
