What Would Happen if You Could See the World as Jesus Sees

May you see the broken world

Through the Savior’s eyes

And discover His empathy

For an immoral culture.

When Jesus rode humbly

Into the city that would slay Him

He was wiping tears

Instead of pointing fingers.

He was yearning within

Rather than raging without.

“And when he drew near and

Saw the city, he wept over it, saying,

‘Would that you, even you, had known

On this day the things that make for peace!

But now they are hidden from your eyes.’” (Luke 19:41–42, ESV)

He wept because He saw

The spiritual blindness of the people.

He wept for the city

That would crucify Him

Because He knew their eyes

Were veiled to the gift of God

In their midst.

May you see the lostness

Of the broken world as Jesus sees

So your fears and frustrations will melt

And your heart will yearn, and pray, and believe.
