Jesus faced a brutal last week on earth. We think we have hard weeks, but nothing was like His. I encourage you this week to read in the Gospel account of what happened to prepare your heart for Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday services. We all know things are bad today. The world around us is literally going to hell.We are
watching the decay of civilization before us. Jesus is still weeping but many
of us are not. Have we lost our tears? Tears speak so much louder than words. What about Faith? Compassion? Grace?
There is Good News! Jesus is still touched by our
broken hearts and troubled by our blinded eyes.
The question, Is the Lord weeping with you or over you today? There is a huge
difference between the two.
The last
time weeping is mentioned in the Bible is Revelation
21:4 , God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes. This is our hope. David said it best, For His anger is but for a moment, His favor
is for a life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5 God is not far off and removed. He is very near – touched by our
tears and weeps with us. He is troubled by our blinded eyes and weeps over us.
It’s okay to cry. Like Martha in John 11 ,
“25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The
one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by
believing in me will live, even
though he dies, and whoever lives believes in me will never die. Do you
believe this?”
