Jerusalem, Jerusalem (Fall/Winter 2025-26)

At the heart of this passage is Jesus’s deep and honest lament for a place that is incredibly meaningful and important to him: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem.” I imagine his tone like that of a parent talking to a beloved child after they’ve done something out of character. Jesus is speaking to and about Jerusalem in a way that any of us might talk about something we deeply love when it is not currently operating at its best, when it’s not living up to all it is capable of, or the way we’ve seen it in the past — the way that we know it can.
