Today's gospel text is Jesus' lament over Jerusalem. I propose that it still does happen, but it takes other forms today. For example, it's easy to find things wrong in life. There are people out there who make complaining a way of life. No one is ever quite good enough for them.
Nothing is ever quite to their liking.
So it is also these kinds of actions that Jesus is lamenting in this morning's gospel. Jerusalem - Jerusalem, how often I wanted to gather you as a hen gathers her chicks under her wing, and you would not. There is a note of deep sadness in his voice. He had come to bring peace, but they seemed to want war. It was ancient history, and it still is modern history.
