[Discoveries] 10-03-07 God's heart and our pain -- John 11:35

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Jesus wept. -- John 11:35*/

We 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!
