(Joh 11:35 NKJV) Jesus wept.
Refer to John 11:1-45 for the full story
Jesus wept with Mary and Martha and their relatives and friends over the death of their beloved brother Lazarus. This is another incident that shows how Jesus stooped to lift up. He always comes down to our level of need and pain to indentify with us. He is always full of compassion. He feels our pains, our disapointments, our griefs and all our deeepest emotions. He sympatizes with all our weaknesses. Heb 4:15
The amazing thing is that Jesus already knew that He is going to raise Lazarus from the dead. Before He came with His disciples to Bethany He told His disciples about Lazarus in (Joh 11:4 NKJV) "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it."
Yet when He was with the grieving, His heart was deeply moved and troubled when he saw Mary and those with her weeping and He wept with them. (Joh 11:33) He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. Only after He felt their sorrows that He then proceeded to raise Lazarus from the dead who was already dead for 4 days.
What can we take away from this?
1. Jesus feels our pains and sorrows and all our deep concerns
2. In our journey of life we can be beset with much sorrows but lets be comforted that the Lord knows everything and that He is in control
3. Some of us may be feeling the grief of the "spiritual death" of our loved ones. You are on fire for God but your spouse or your children or grandchildren shows no interest whatsoever in the Lord. It pains your heart and you have been crying inside to see them "dead".
4. Jesus intends to raise the dead back to life. Hear His command. Release it in His name.
Lazarus come forth! Call the name of your spouse or children and command in His name.
"__________________" come forth in Jesus name!!!
Jesus said, "I am the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE!"
Halelujah! WHAT A WONDERFUL SAVIOUR AND LORD WE HAVE IN JESUS!
