Jesus wept looking Jerusalem
Luke 19: 41-48
As Jesus approached Jerusalem, seeing her, he wept over it. As the hen incubates her chicks under her wings, Jesus wanted to assemble the people of Israel under the wing of the love of God, but the people did not accept him as Savier. Ponder why Jesus weeps.
1. The city of Jerusalem has missed time
By sending the prophets and the son of God, God wanted they could repent. No side was holy like an overripe apple whose appearance is brillant but inside was rotten. He could not but wait to violence.
2. The temple whose interior was mowed
In the temple there is the holy of holies to welcome God and it was the center of the town and of all religious activities. But it became a thief cave (46). How is your center ? When you're young, there is a lot to think about.
Prayer: Lord, thank you. When you call us, help me to respond you and welcome you. What is the center of this nation? Lord help her so that you may be her center.

JESUS REPROACH THE HYPOCRITES
Luke 11: 37-54
Jesus today criticized les hypocrites. If we are hypocrites, we can not avoid the reproaches of Jesus Christ. But if we keep our center of heart, we will be abundantly loved by Jesus Christ.
As we have many self righteous elements, listen together and get through today's text a great lesson for us. We will reflect on some ten points and self righteous elements that can be found within ourselves.
Verse 38, you are astonished by that others don't behave like yourselves. If that's it, you are self righteous. V39-40, rather than having the content of the Christian life, you may think that to show to others is more important. If so, you are self righteous. V41, don't you help others in formalistic way? it is self righteous. V42 rather than have the content, you put too much emphasis on the ritual. It is self-righteous. In the same verse, too little love of God in your life is shown, isn't-it? It's self-righteous. V43 do you think your church and your religion is best, you are self righteous. Haven't-you decide things you can't do yourself but you want others to do. (46) and reflect on v. 52, I forget the explanation. vv 53-54, do you love Jesus?
Prayer: Lord, help us to listen with all our heart to your word as true Christian
One Word: v. 39, Jesus sees the heart center

Often when we listen to the word of God, we love hearing the word we like, but we close our ears to the words that we balk. We must learn what attitude to have to hear the word of God.
1) The words that flatter our ears
Jesus went to his country, Nazareth of Galilee, and he gave the word of God (v 14-22). Jesus gave a very soft voice, he announced the good news of that he would heal those who are hurt during the living in this harsh world. This speech was very good to hear, so much so that later all admired the gracious words (22). They were perhaps absorbed in their dreams as it was good to listen to.
2) The words which our ears balk
Without delay, minutes after, the people of Nazareth wanted to kill Jesus Christ and see the blood. The reason was (v 25-27) that Jesus had touched weaknesses for which they should repent. We also, whether through the word of God or the word of justice uttered by the neighbors, we close our ears and are harming others. What is the attitude with which you hear the word?
Prayer: Lord, we are so weak that we have prejudices and do not want to hear the word of righteousness, raises us with your word of truth
One Word: Jesus was rejected
ATTITUDE TO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD

Paul and Barnabas went through great difficulty when they announced the Gospel. We reflect on when and how the apostles obtained the boldness for the work of God?
1. The Jews poisoned their mind
When Paul and Barnabas preached, the Jews, that is to say their compatriots, poisoned their mind. They should have help them, but became the hateful enemies. In God's business or world affairs it is often close people that prevent the work, but at this time do not be discouraged.
2. The apostles were emboldened with the confidence in the Lord
Paul and Barnabas discouraged and lost boldness, but right now we see that they are emboldened with confidence. With what assurance? Assurance in the Lord (3). When we preach the gospel, with the confidence in man, in the things of the world, we can not do it. Paul and Barnabas acquired boldness in the Lord. When they preached with this boldness, the multitude was divided. They fled to Lystra and Darbe. In what do you have assurance? When we do God's work, we must acquire this assurance in the Lord.
Prayer: Lord helps us acquire absolute assurance in the Lord before doing anything to the work of God
One word: have assurance in the Lord
THE APOSTLES SPEAK BOLDLY THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD

At that time, King David was surrounded by lots of problems, but we can see here that in God David acquire the conviction to explore his future life. We must learn two reasons:
1) My soul has thirsts of the Lord
Surrounded by problems, instead of being crushed, David took a good disposition of heart; he did not let his heart, his soul, being carried away by the problems. Rather his soul yearned for the Lord and received joy in God, hope, conviction, as it gives water to those who are thirsty (2) or food to the hungry (6) refuge to weary travelers (8). His soul felt the strength in God. What is your fastest way to get away when you are surrounded by many problems of life?
2) He remembers the Lord on his bed (7)
For David and the soldiers, God was always a help. In early morning, David offered his prayer and before he slept, he remembered the Lord. We feel that David looked like a little baby hugged by his mother. The way of sleep was very peaceful. Do you remember the Lord like it on your bed?
Prayer: Lord, the more there are many problems for me, the more my soul longs for you, and the more I can find the strength that comes from you. Help me to always remember you on my bed
One Word: remember the Lord on your bed.

We are both sheep of God and shepherds who care for the weak sheep. Like this, the believers' life has a double aspect. This psalm tells us much about that the believers' life is to take refuge in the bosom of God on the one hand and desire to serve God on the other. Both passive aspect, and positive one. If we are believers it is very important to be properly educated in these two aspects.
1) David who takes refuge in God (2-5)
In this psalm, King David was in anxiety, sadness, distress and fear. At this crossroads of feelings he begs for help, the help of God. The rock means there is a place where he can hide when the enemy passes. The tower means the place from where one can see the enemies, place where the enemy can ever be destroyed. The refuge is where one can have fellowship with God. What is your refuge? What is your rock?
2) David vowed to serve God
David was not sitten down in worry, he testified that he fulfills his wish to serve God. Receive grace and give his heart to something else makes really miserable. After receiving the grace of God have you had the opportunity to make a vow to serve God?
Prayer: Lord, I eagerly want you to become my refuge, give me the ardent wish to serve you after receiving grace
One Word: when my heart is discouraged
