Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Luke 13:35

Faithy Explains

In this verse, Jesus addresses the people of Jerusalem, lamenting their rejection of His message and the impending consequences. The 'house' refers to the city and its spiritual state, which will become desolate due to their unwillingness to embrace Jesus as the Messiah. However, Jesus also speaks of a future time when they will recognize Him, quoting a phrase from Psalm 118:26, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.' This signifies a future moment of acceptance and acknowledgment of Jesus' true identity.

The verse serves as both a warning and a promise. It warns of the spiritual emptiness that comes from rejecting God's message, yet it also promises a future reconciliation and recognition of Jesus. This dual message is a reminder of the importance of being open to God's presence and the hope that comes with faith. It encourages believers to stay vigilant in their spiritual journey, recognizing the signs of God's work in their lives and being ready to welcome Him with open hearts.
