What Could Have Been

Today, we'll begin the passion week (a little early), and I'm not talking NCAA tourney(though there is passion in it too). Luke ch 19v41-44 notes Jesus approaching Jerusalem on the colt. He sees the city and weeps, for he knows what the future holds. The 2nd part of v44 is particcularly haunting in that he weeps because the people did not accept the opportunity for salvation. They had been warned. We have too. What about many who have heard and have decided to make the decision later? We think we have plenty of time. Judgement day is way off in the future, I can decide then. Jesus is warning us who follow, not to wait. Don't bypass the oppty. We should not let the phrase "what could have been" be part of our story, or those we love. Jesus weeps, it means that much.
