Come out... (Jesus wept….a parable in study concludes)

Come out... (Jesus wept….a parable in study concludes)

In our recent blog posts, we have been mulling over the cause and concept behind the tears shed by our Lord and Saviour at the tomb of his dear friend Lazarus, who he was anycase  going to resurrect.  To me, it was, and remains intriguing prospect as to why would someone cry over a sorrow, when he know there is going to be an happy ending.

But my thought revolved, reflected, resonated beyond the grave of Lazarus.  To me, the tearful disposition of Jesus meant something more, something deeper, something larger.  I could gauge a pround and prolific meaning.  An insight.  An introspection. An interrogation with my soul.  Tears, a parable to study.

What echoes inside of me is …

Jesus wept when he looked at the tomb of Lazarus…

Jesus weeps when he looks at

… perishing souls  (Sin: Eternal Death)

… the distorted image of God (Sin: Glory Lost)

….the tarnished version of Love (Sin: Loves to hate)

….temples becoming tombstones (God in Man Vs Death in Man )

….devastation due to disobedience (No helment, Yes hell met)

….decaying due to delay (Buried in Sins Vs Breaking the chains)

Lazarus story ended with a glorious resurrection!  Hallelujah!

The question of Jesus crying is one thing.  Yes, he does.  His tears was not followed by a funeral sermon.  His tears was followed by a call to resurrect Lazarus. He rose again!

But the question that  I want to ask myself (and if you wish, you can ask yourself)…is do I shed tears for what Jesus did….If Jesus is in me…should I also not?  

If my response is like of Jesus, then the end will be resurrection!

Resurrected soul, Resurrected life, Resurrected purpose!

Amen
