The Message of the Tear

John 11:35 KJV
Jesus wept.

Such a short verse but still filled with truth
• Jesus loved Mary and Martha and Lazarus. His love for them was plain enough people could see it
• Jesus loved those who had assembled around the tomb and could not see the truth of who He was
• Jesus loved the disciples who had questioned whether it was wise for Him to enter into Bethany, so close to Jerusalem and those who sought to kill Him
• Jesus loved even those who would call for His death
• Jesus loved those who would live generations later, still in need of a Saviour
And His tears reflect His love for all of them.

Lazarus would be resurrected. But the story would not end there.
