“When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He groaned the spirit and was troubled.”(John 11:33)
Jesus is our High Priest, touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He knows our tears as well as our laughter. Tears are a language God understands. As the prophet Isaiah said, He is, “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” (Isaiah 53:3)
John Philips points out that, “Jesus had come from a land where there is no sin and therefore no sorrow, where there are no tombs and no tears. His home was far away, a land of eternal bliss, a land of “joy unspeakable and full of glory.” He had been on earth for thirty-three years. He had seen many tears, helped heal many broken hearts.”
I remind you that Jesus is available to hear your plea for help and understanding.
