Jesus Wept

Jesus Wept

“Jesus wept” (John 11:35). Those two words tell us so much about our Lord and Savior. Of course, we read this as Jesus came to Lazarus’ tomb to miraculously raise Him from the grave. He knew his friend was going to be resurrected from death, but was still deeply moved with compassion. You know, sometimes in life, we feel despair. The only prayers we seem to be able to muster are with our tears. Friend, if tears are your only prayers today, you’re in good company. Jesus has been there too. Hang in there. The season of sadness will eventually change. Perhaps something very wonderful is right around the corner. As Christians, we grieve, but we never lose hope. Our God is the resurrection and the life. Now that’s something to pray about!
