‘The Intercessor.’
Jeremiah 9:1-3.
One of the ministries of the Intercessor is to “stand in the gap” between God and His People, especially at times when His People have wandered far from Him.
a) Jeremiah 9:1. Jeremiah really had a desire to weep for God’s People.
b) Jeremiah 9:2. On the other side of his heart he had had enough and he wanted to quit and run away.
c) Jeremiah 9:3. God’s assessment of His People’s condition:-
1- Their words are too sharp.
2- They tell lies.
3- They proceed from evil to evil.
4- They do not really know God.
(This QT reveals to me the heart and ministry of The Intercessor)

‘They Missed It.’
Luke 19:41-42.
a) Jesus came near to Jerusalem and wept over it.
b) They did not recognise the things that made for Peace.
c) Now those things had become hidden from their eyes.
(Through this Second one I can see that They Missed It)

Chris.
They missed it. These were sad words and a sad reflection on the people of Jerusalem. Yet these words could be repeated over and over again all over the Earth. So many times it seems that God’s People, the Church, have missed it or are missing it.
