The Heart of the King

“Jesus wept.” (John 11:35)

Our Lord is not a cold and calculating overlord.  He is not without feeling to our pain or incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses.  Jesus wept when Lazarus died.

Perhaps He wept because He loved Lazarus… because He did.

Perhaps He wept because He loved Lazarus’ sisters, Mary and Martha… because He did.

Perhaps He wept for Himself and the heartache caused by a world marred by sin – after all, He is the Man of Sorrows, and our sorrows are upon Him, too.

Or perhaps He wept for all those reasons and more I haven’t even considered.

Regardless, Jesus’ tears are a reminder of the heart of our King.  He is not immune to pain, and His tears reflect His love.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
