AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 19:44 and they will level you to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you. They will not leave in you one stone on another, all because you did not [come progressively to] recognize [from observation and personal experience] the time of your visitation [when God was gracious toward you and offered you salvation]." |
Subject: The time of your visitation? |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Steve, I apologize if it sounded as though I thought you were trying to read something into that passage. What I meant was that the tendency to do that is so widespread that it is easy for us all to slip into that mode. With regards to application: Our tendency is to identify with Christ in narratives like that. However, I suspect greater instruction can be derived by identifying with the Pharisees. I'll check out Piper's teaching on this passage. In Him, Doc |
