John 11:35 Jesus wept.

Why on earth was Jesus glad that Lazarus was dead? Why then did He cry?

We can guess at all of the reasons why Jesus wept openly at this stage but let us never forget the simplicity of this statement. Jesus cried because He has compassion!

So many times we try to read so much into things when the simplest answer is what we need to focus on. Jesus LOVES mankind! Just because get it wrong does not mean that Jesus stops loving us.

Know Jesus’ love. Accept Jesus’ love. Trust Jesus’ love.
