Christ's Longing for Wayward Hearts (Luke 13:34)

Today’s Bible Verse:
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing." — Luke 13:34

Luke 13:34 captures the tender heart of Jesus for those who resist Him. He laments over Jerusalem, longing to protect, nurture, and save, yet facing rejection. This verse reminds us of God’s persistent love and the invitation He extends, even when people turn away.
