Jesus wept....John 11:35

I heard this sermon on John 11:35 during my stay in California. It meant a lot for me.

In the story, Lazarus died and his families moaned for him. They were in so much pain and loss. They asked Jesus to come and see. I believe they asked Jesus too this question 'WHY?'

Once in the darkness, I was crying in the garden and felt life better end there. I asked God, Why there was pain I could not bear? Why God let it happen? Why? Why? Why?

No magic happened but silence. I wondered why the all mighty God could not give me an answer. Did he think my sufferring was too little? Did he think it was right for me to go through?

In this sermon, the preacher showed this truth from the Bible, When we were in pain and loss, Jesus wept with us.

Before He did any miracles, He wept with me. He knows my pain, my distress, frustrations..... as he was a piece of flesh too and suffered all I had and even more. He is a dear friend, not a policeman. Policeman solves my problems but might not have much compassion for me.

He shed His tears as it was not what He meant for me. He wanted me to be in peace with God and men. However, the world doesn't run in the right way all the time. Sin hurts everyone. He was in deep sorrow for the world.

Jesus wept when I asked 'WHY'? I ask because I did not know much about His plan. Or/and I did not trust His plan that much. I wanted what I lost then and didn't want anything better. (I didn't care anyway.)

Jesus wept....with me and for me. When the storm came, I cried so loudly that I couldn't hear the weeping voice of God.

He said, He does care.
