Episode Synopsis

When Jesus approached Jerusalem for the final time, he wept bitterly over the city's spiritual blindness. His tears weren't for himself but for people who missed the peace he offered because they were consumed with politics, religion, and power. This prophetic lament came true when Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE, exactly as Jesus predicted. His example teaches us to feel deeply about brokenness, identify what's missing in our world, and move beyond tears into redemptive action. Like Jesus, we must walk toward pain and injustice to bring healing and peace.
