THE SAVIOUR’S LAMENT.

Luk_13:34.

This lament was over a guilty city, and reveals-

1. A Gracious Purpose. Not judgment, but salvation. "As a hen gathereth."

2. Infinite Mercy. Gathered under His wings. Persecutors, murderers, etc.

3. Almighty Power. "How often would I."

4. Longsuffering Compassion. "How often."

5. Heart – Rending Anguish. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem."

6. Wilful Resistance "But ye would not."

7. Wounded Love. "Your house is left to you desolate"
