1 | Jesus wept !... did Jesus ever laugh? | Luke 10:21 | calmrage | 147382 | ||
Have you ever wonder why the Bible never mentioned that Jesus laughs or smiles? (Correct and quote me if I am wrong) Yes, his teachings in mountain about those are blessed... "Blessed are those..... " However, the Bible seems not to mention his facial expression about happines. Has Jesus been happy in his life? The Bible has mentioned that Jesus Wept as in John 11:15.Is there a reason for it? Or is it Christians are like Christ that most of our lives have to be pain and suffering in order to be eternally happy!??? |

The marriage in Cana: A marriage festival is a very gala event. I can't imagine Jesus, The Lord of Grace, being a stick-in-the-mud. The gayety and happiness for the bride and groom would be intoxicating at such an event. As others have said, sometimes one would have to read between-the-lines in such cases. (John 2:1-2 KJV) "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage." And, because He was "called", or invited, Jesus and-or His family were friends with either the groom or the bride. And friends, especially in those times, where friends, not just acquaintances, you are always happy for your friends and responded in like manner. And I can't see Jesus, with a sober face, saying, (Luke 15:7 KJV) ..."that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth..." or (Luke 15:10 KJV), "...there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Following the character of Christ, it is apparent, even through unwritten Scripture, that He was human also and knew and did things as we do; cry, laugh, be sad and ... be full of an unspeakable joy. So, in a way, I see the passage, "Jesus wept", as a mixture of sorrow and gladness. Sorrow, because of the weeping of His friends and gladness because The Father has given Him the opportunity to show the masses that were assembled to see and witness the Glory of God, His Mercy and Greatness and declare and illustrate the truth of the resurrection that was in the Christ. terrib |
