Jesus wept.

Luke 19.41
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it

The Bible only records two instances where Jesus wept. One was, while he saw Mary and the others weeping for Lazarus. In this verse, we see Jesus weeping again. But this time its for the spiritual ignorance of his people.

Ignorance is disastrous. God says in Hosea 4.6, my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. He said my people, the people of God. Think about it. Notice, they lacked knowledge not because they had no access to it but rather they rejected the knowledge of God and neglected it. This means that they didn't make Gods word first and final in their lives. They made other things more important than the word. Therefore, ignorance is a choice. We live in a day where the word is available to us at our finger tips. So therefore today if we are ignorant of the things of God its because we decided to be.

Jesus wept over the ignorance of his people. This shows his immense love for us. You see, unless you know the word, you can't believe and unless you believe God cannot do anything for you. Hebrews says without faith it is impossible to please God. Friend, I encourage you, not be ignorant about the things of God another day. Start now. Go to a good bible based church where you are fed the word of God and I promise, you will never be the same again. Remember, ignorance is a choice and its highly expensive. Psalms says, as soon as you get the word, light comes. When light comes, darkness flees. Glory to God.
