As he was drawing near―already on the way down the Mount of Olives―the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,
"Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."
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 19:37-41~
What a mix of emotions in that passage--glory and triumph to weeping. May God open eyes to see His truth and their need.
