Luke 19:41-42

Luke 19:41

I. In the case before us spiritual indifference was the sign of concealed ruin.

II. While spiritual indifference conceals the downward course of the soul's life, it at the same time hides the Christ who alone can save.

III. In spiritual indifference Christ saw: (1) A self-wrought ruin; (2) ruin rapidly becoming hopeless.
