Transcript
00:00He called the most powerful king in the land a fox, a weak, sneaky animal.
00:06Some Pharisees had just come to Jesus and said,
00:10You need to leave. Herod wants to kill you.
00:13They expected him to run and hide. He didn't.
00:16He said, Go tell that fox.
00:19I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow.
00:24And on the third day, I will reach my goal.
00:27No threat could stop God's plan before its time.
00:31But then his tone changed completely.
00:35He cried out, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you.
00:43How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.
00:51And you were not willing.
00:54Bold as a lion to his enemy.
00:57Tender as a mother hen to those who reject him.
01:01Don't be unwilling.
01:02Come under his wings while you still can.
