"For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." (Matthew 12:34) It was the pinnacle of all missionary journeys; to the disciples the triumphal entry was the moment they had waited for. Their Master was finally hailed as the King of Israel. But after eons of restraint Christ let out a soul cry that gave evidence to His greatest desire. "And when He was come near He beheld the city and wept over it." (Luke 19:41)
The abundance that poured out from His heart were words expressing sorrow over the destruction of the city that would reject Him. His pent up anguish was not over His trial and condemnation, neither was it about the disciple's great disappointment. He cried for the unpenitent and lost of Jerusalem. The abundance of his heart wept for all those who hate and reject Him. Amazing!
