Luke 19:41 - Additional Comments

What a heart Jesus had even for those who rejected God over the years, even for the Pharisees.
Despite the praise and triumph going on around Him, He still was focused on the main thing - the hearts and souls of people. May we see through all the noise around us to see the main thing - people's need for a good relationship with God.
Here is Jerusalem, the home for God, and yet the people rejected God over the years and will now reject the Son of God. Of any place, home should be safe, yet it never was for God.
