“I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" (Luke 13:35)

Notation from the Studium Biblicum: “Jesus was grieving with mercy for the people of Jerusalem, for their nation was pacing towards self-destruction. Yet, Jesus gave a hint that the Jews could be able to replenish again one day.”

The letter from St. Paul to the Romans stated: “Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.” (details in Romans 11:11-32).

Peter informed with certainty: “The Lord does not wish that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. “ (2 Peter 3:9).

Though our ancestors had disobeyed God, God is still granting mankind another chance: “Then the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel." (Genesis 3:14-15).

God is forgiving and we will be granted another chance as long as we continue to put effort in trying to do His will.

In spite of realizing His deathly execution, Jesus went on His way to Jerusalem, so as to fulfill the Father’s mission in redeeming the world.

In reality, Jesus has devoted Himself for each and every one of us.
