Why Jesus Wept
Ted E. Bowling
Given 13-Mar-04; Sermon #655s; 17 minutes
Description: (hide)
In this time of preparation before Passover, Ted Bowling focuses upon the humanity of Christ — especially His emotional display of shedding tears and weeping. The context of the shortest verse of the Bible occurred right before the resurrection of Lazarus, an event that sealed His fate, so to speak, forcing the religious leaders (fearing Christ's influence on the people) to take up counsel against Him. Jesus tears resulted from frustration at the lack of faith expressed by people with whom He had closely counseled and for whom He had deep empathy (Mary and Martha).
