That list of sins in the epistle today, too, is a sad one, too, describing many ways the sinner falls down. In relation to the Bible verses proclaimed today, The Lord cries over people choosing the many ways of vanity (in imitation of Solomon’s foolish turn) Jesus is sad to tears over people lost in the possession of their riches, or under deadly sin, as in greed, or lust, or such. He was speaking about us, not just Himself weeping over humanity. Jesus did say: Blessed are those who mourn. These should be things that His followers would be tearing over, too, right now, and sharing Jesus’ tears, and longing for action through themselves to help heal the world. He is crying over people not having His passion to save souls, which is a key part of His Presence in the believer. He is crying over lost souls, who resist His love and grace, and remain in darkness. He is also crying over abortion in the land.

Over what? He is crying over some things going on in his Church, for instance. What about now? Is Jesus crying? I think so. Luke 19:41-42 tells of another moment, when Jesus cries as He approaches an indifferent Jerusalem… But Jesus certainly cried in His earthly life among us. The other is when He looked over Jerusalem, and cried, as told in Luke 19:41-42. I can think of two specific times Jesus is said to have cried. I want to preach a whole homily on that verse: “Jesus wept.” In the Greek language it is spread out to three words, translated: ”Jesus shed tears.” “ Do you where it is in the New Testament. Do you know which verse I am talking about? It is “Jesus wept. To the same tender and compassionate Saviour Christians may now come Hebrews 4:15 and to him the penitent sinner may also come, knowing that he will not cast him away.There is a Bible verse of just two words, at least in some Bible versions, where and when a whole lot is said about a moment in Jesus’ life. We have here an instance of the tenderness of the character of Jesus, The same Savior wept over Jerusalem, and felt deeply for poor dying, sinners. All that religion does in the case is to temper and chasten our grief to teach us to mourn with submission to God to weep without complaining, and to seek to banish tears, not by hardening the heart or forgetting the friend, but by bringing the soul, made tender by grief, to receive the sweet influences of religion, and to find calmness and peace in the God of all consolation.Ĥ. It is the expression of nature and religion does not forbid or condemn it. Sorrow at the death of friends is not improper. Romans 12:15 'rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.'ģ. It is right, it is natural, it is indispensable for the Christian to sympathize with others in their afflictions.

Piety binds stronger the ties of friendship, makes more tender the emotions of love, and seals and sanctifies the affections of friends.Ģ. That the most tender personal friendship is not inconsistent with the most pure religion. It shows the Lord Jesus as a friend, a tender friend, and evinces his character as a man. Jesus wept - It has been remarked that this is the shortest verse in the Bible but it is exceedingly important and tender.
