About this listen

To look upon Jesus' suffering and weep without repentance, without faith, is to miss entirely who He is. To miss what He does. Such weeping is mere sentimentality. And sentimentality saves no one. It denies that His suffering is necessary, as though we could find salvation some other way.

What is necessary is to see Jesus rightly. Not to deny suffering and attempt too take Him down off the cross, but to leave Him there and believe upon it. What is necessary is to see Him numbered among the sinners, to recognize that He takes that label upon Himself, and in that He offers you His peace, His Kingdom, His forgiveness.
