What does the Bible say about God's desire to gather His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows God's longing to gather His people under His protection, exemplified in Matthew 23:37.

In Matthew 23:37, Jesus expresses His deep desire to gather the children of Jerusalem just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. This imagery illustrates God's parental care and affectionate longing for His wayward people. Despite His earnest wishes, He acknowledges their rejection, indicating that the will of man does not override the sovereign will of God. This divine desire is rooted in God's covenant love, where He invites His people to come to Him for shelter and salvation, affirming the gospel's essence as a call to be gathered under His grace.
