Opportunity comes but once as the saying goes so make use of your opportunity as it comes. In today’s gospel, seeing the multitudes of homes surrounding the Temple in Jerusalem, Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Many times as written in history, the people of Jerusalem refuse to believe in God.

Jerusalem was the city cherished by the Lord. It is the citadel of David built on Mount Zion but many of the rulers and inhabitants have not made for peace-their pride and unbelief had led themselves many times into ruin-they refused to hear the warning and the call from God, they had rejected the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Now they refuse to listen to Jesus who comes as their Messiah. Indeed an opportunity lost can lead to disappointment, anxiety, regrets and often times.tragedy.

The tales of opportunities for the city of Jerusalem, the refusal of God’s word and His prophets came to its climax in the time of Jesus especially at His passion and death. The One they hailed Hosaana Son of David while they dropped their garments on the ground in honour of Him and few days later on they shouted and demanded for Him to be crucified outside the city wall. They knew of His miracles but refuse His lordship. They knew he was the anointed one but rejected His message of salvation. History has its tales to tell.

We too are the Temples of the Holy Spirit and we would not want that Christ should weep over our lives. The opportunity to repent of our sins is being offered once again today. The opportunity for God’s intervention is here do not delay. The power of God to save you is at your disposal the choice is yours. Make the right choice because that is the best choice.
