"Jesus wept."
John 11:35
This verse is from the story of the death of Lazarus. At times when we weep in life, it might be sometimes valuable to know that Christ weeps as well. Although he was perfect, he felt and mourned as we do.
Even though Christ had the ultimate perspective, and knew not only that Lazarus would live again someday, but that he would raise him up himself shortly. He understood that this all was just a temporary setback, and yet, he still wept. He emphasized with Mary, and he emphasizes with us.
Today, let's understand that Christ knows what we are going through, and commune with him about our troubles. And let's make the effort to mourn with other people, and support them in their troubles and grief, as Christ does for us.
