Jesus Wept

When Jesus came to resurrect Lazarus I’ve wondered why he was so troubled and upset. He knew he was going to resurrect Lazarus in a very short time, yet he wept. Was he sorrowful about death itself, yet he was death’s conqueror. Then I heard a pastor say Jesus was experiencing Mary’s and Martha’s grief, taking their grief into himself, feeling their pain. Yes, our comforter, our dear friend, grieving with us when we grieve and rejoicing with us when we are joyful. That sounds like the Jesus I know!
