HE WEEPS OVER US

HE WEEPS OVER US!

Isa 53:3

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

The Bible records at least three occasions when Jesus grieved: at the tomb of Lazarus, over the city of Jerusalem, and in the Garden of Gethsemane before His death. Reaching the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus groaned in the spirit and was troubled. Jesus wept.

Jesus knew Lazarus would die. In fact he waited several days before journeying to see His sick friend and thereby withheld healing. Why would he do that? He wanted to raise him from the dead. None of this kept Jesus from associating with the emotional pain felt by His friends. He wept.

Whatever you are going through today, please understand that our Great High Priest weeps over us. He has a divine concern and care for us. We can safely resort to Him in prayer knowing that He eagerly hears us.

Heb 4:15-16

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Dear Lord, nothing touches me that doesn’t also touch you. Thank you for sharing my grief. AMEN
