Look at that view.
It’s beautiful.
Sometimes, I stand out here and just stand in awe.
And this reminds me of a story in the Bible where Jesus stood on the mount of Olives, looking out over the city of Jerusalem.
Luke records Jesus’ response to seeing the city.
mat 23:37-
luke 19:41-
What can we learn from Jesus?
1. Love your city.
They literally had a history of ignoring God and killing the prophets.
But Jesus loved the city anyway.
Vallejo is not perfect and while this view is beautiful, let’s not ignore that at the street level, there are problems.
But how do solve those problems?
By loving the people and pointing them towards Jesus.
Now....that’s huge, but we don’t change the city in a day.
it’s one act of love at a time, one person at a time.
And a lot of the time, the person God’s puts in our path to love is not someone we want to love.
They are often annoying....infuriating....love them anyway.
2. Weep over your City.
Jesus cried over the city because he knew they weren’t where they were supposed to be.
Here is the difference between Jesus’ response and ours.
We often respond in anger.
We often tear down.
But Jesus’ response was appropriate.
He just cried.
Because the city broke his heart.
I think for us, there are parts of Vallejo that should break our hearts.
3. Look for the beauty in the city
Now we know that Jerusalem is and was a beautiful city filled with beautiful people.
And how often do just a few ruin it for everyone.
Our city comes to us everyday.
Let’s love these students, so that they can’t be equipped to love their city and change their city.
