Tears (Week 5)

March 20:  What Makes God Weep  Notes / Podcast

Jesus’ face was flushed with anger.  “You hypocrites!” he screamed until his throat was raw.  But then he wept.  He wept over “religious” Jerusalem, wept over the facade, the veneer, the coming destruction.  Would he weep over our church?  Amidst all the programs, all the desire to reach the lost, would Jesus find true repentance in our hearts?  Or are some of us playing church?  This text shows us the hypocrisy Jesus hates and the tender warning he gives to church hypocrites.
