" But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. "(Luke 23:28)
Today is Palm/Passion Sunday, we will be reading the whole story of Jesus' passion. Each Gospel has it's own unique take on the Passion, in Luke the above verse is one of them.
Often we can look at our current situation and just want to cry. Yet the real tears might rightfully be shed for those who come after us. How often do we speak of worrying about what kind of world we are leaving for our children? And yet very little other than hand wringing occurs. Rarely are steps taken to try and change direction.
Jesus invites us to focus more on the what comes later than to get stuck in the here and now. That's not easy to do, especially if the here and now is quite overwhelming.
Blessings,
Ed
