Title: Dominus Flevit "The Lord Wept"

Occasion: Good Friday worship
Style: Quiet, meditative
Commentary: Dominus Flevit means "The Lord Wept". It is the name of a building on the Mount of Olives which commemorates the time when Jesus stopped and wept over Jerusalem. The entire building is in the shape of a tear drop and faces Jerusalem as Jesus once faced.
Main Scripture: Luke 19:41-44
Main Topics: Good Friday, Jesus wept, the suffering of Jesus
Special Interest: This sermon begins with a brief presentation on the mechanics of the cross as an instrument of torture.

As you listen, select, copy, and paste the following outline:

Today is a day of remembrance

The cross was a torture instrument

-But as we weep on this day, we must realize that Jesus also wept as he approached this day

-on the top of the Mount of Olive

As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it
and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace– but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.  They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you.”  Luke 19:41-44

Dominus Flevit
-which means:  The Lord Wept
         

-But Jesus would wail out loud and utter prophetic words
-and by doing so, he would stand in a long line of prophets that came before Him

-we may be sad this day because of all that he had to go through for us

-so……what amazes me is His amazing grace

          -but Christ came to die for the ungodly

Romans 5
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

-but he still came
John 1:10-11  - He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
