Last week we introduced the story of Lazarus’ death. Jesus met Martha along the road and asked her if she believed it when He said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” This week we are going to zero in on one key verse, the shortest verse in your Bible – Jesus wept. What a profound statement! This shows something of Jesus’ humanity, anger, sorrow, compassion, and care for His friend Lazarus and the others who mourned his death. We are going to explore the reasons that Jesus wept, what He was weeping over, and what it means for us as we encounter our own suffering.
