Mathew 23:37 - Talks about how Jerusalem killed the prophets and those God has sent to them
Disappointed people are not happy people
Disappointed = depressed or discouraged by the failures of one's hopes
Disappointment in others exposes a basic selfishness; by definition is rather self-focused
Most assume that God often views us with a disappointed heart
Luke 19:41-42 (parallel verse to Matthew 23:37) - If you only had known on this day what would bring you peace
Are you often disappointed in yourself or others?
Humility is needed - Selfishness and pride is the opposite
- Disappointed often? Selfish often!
- Frustrated at others often? Selfish often!
- Angry when others have things against you? Selfish once more!
Disappointment is un-Godlike; Concern is the godly quality which comes from self-denial and agape love
