John 11:35 Jesus Wept

“Jesus wept”. John 11:35 ESV

John 11:35, is the shortest verse in the Bible, simply put it says, “Jesus wept.” Even though it’s brief these two words carry profound depth and reveal the heart of Christ in a powerful way. This moment occurs at the tomb of Lazarus, where Jesus is surrounded by grieving friends and family. Even though He knew He would raise Lazarus from the dead, He still entered fully into the sorrow of those around Him. His tears show us that He is not a distant or unemotional Savior but one who feels the weight of human pain and loss. In weeping, Jesus identified with our grief, demonstrating His compassion and love for people. His tears also remind us that sorrow, brokenness, pain, and death were never part of God’s original design, but entered the world because of sin. Jesus’ weeping reveals His holy anger at the reality of death and His deep empathy for those who suffer under its shadow. We should be comforted to know that Christ does not stand far off when we hurt—He draws near, feels with us, and cares deeply. John 11:35 teaches us that divine power and tender compassion coexist perfectly in Jesus, making Him both our mighty Savior and our loving Friend.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15

Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen
