‘This is the city.’

Jack Webb (as Joe Friday) opened each radio and television program with the familiar phrase. The show was Dragnet; the city, Los Angeles.

Imagine, you in his role. Where do you live? It may be a city of millions, a village, or township. Whatever the size; it is home and has people of different backgrounds and behaviors.

This is the city.

Jesus is coming to your city.

There, He'll see a welcoming sign at the city limits with population numbers.

Does your city have a bright future?

Is Jesus welcome? 

This is the city.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her young under her wings, and you were unwilling (Luke 13:34 NASB)!”

My home is Epps. Jesus wants to gather our people into His fold.

He approaches. 

“When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it (Luke 19:41 NASB).”  

Will we make Jesus weep; will I?
