Jesus wept. -- John 11:35We can never understand human suffering without taking into account the suffering of God.
Why did Jesus weep? Why didn't He smile? He was the only one present who knew that the grief of Mary and Martha would soon give way to delirious, dancing joy. He was the only one present with the power to reverse the tragedy, and He fully intended to use that power.Yet He wept.
God is not aloof. Even moments before our deliverance, His heart feels every bit of our pain.
Be encouraged!
Dwight
