John 11:35 (KJV)
35Jesus wept.
Reflections:
The scene was in Bethany at Mary and Martha�s home where their brother (Jesus� dear friend) Lazarus had recently died. Jesus knew what He was about to do � that was exactly why he delayed His coming.
When He arrived in Bethany both Martha and her sister Mary greeted Jesus in the very same way saying, �Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.� I personally believe this is why Jesus wept; because rather than believe and trust in Him, they blamed Him for their brother�s death.
Does this sound familiar? Perhaps you have spoken similar words to the Lord -- �Lord, if you had just shown up when I really needed you, when my loved one was dying, but you didn�t.� �Why did you raise Lazarus from the dead that day in Bethany, but not respond to my desperate cry?�
Beloved, quite frankly, no one really has the answers to these questions except the one who weeps with us -- and one day when we see Him face to face all will be revealed �
There�s one thing of which we can be certain, and that was Jesus� response to Martha: �I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.�
