The Miracles of Jesus Christ: The Resurrection of Lazarus (Part Two)

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

When Jesus saw Mary weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. This scene of death and despair deeply moved and upset Him, even to the point of indignation. Our Savior's weeping shows the pain of sin, a reminder that sin brings death and sorrow. When tempted to sin, we must recall that Jesus wept, a succinct emphasis on the curse of sin. Jesus' weeping reveals His compassionate nature as a sympathizing High Priest. Unlike the loud lamenting of others, He wept quietly with tears flowing, demonstrating heartfelt mourning in the face of death. This sorrow does not indicate a lack of faith but an honest response to the reality of suffering and death. His example teaches that it is right and natural to sympathize with others in their afflictions, to rejoice with those who rejoice, and to weep with those who weep. We see in this the tenderness of His character, the same Savior who felt deeply for others even in their struggles.
