1. Recognize God's coming (41-44)

Jesus entered Jerusalem amid shouts of praise, but tears were in his eyes. He was not weeping for himself, but for the people who did not know that God was visiting them. If they had welcomed him, he would have given them real peace. But they rejected him. Those who reject God's love will taste his wrath.

2. A house of prayer (45-48)

Jesus did not go to the palace; he went to the temple. He came to bring spiritual revolution. He brought prayer and Bible teaching and true worship back to the temple. But the religious leaders looked at him with political eyes and saw in him a threat to their leadership. They did not repent; instead, they sought to kill him. But the thirsty people hung on his words.

Application: Lord, make my heart a place where you are always welcome. Give me a repentant heart and eyes to recognize the time of your coming to me.
One Word: Jesus weeps for the lost
