1 | He wept not for their grief | John 11:35 | teragram123 | 55834 | ||
Joh 11:35 Jesus wept. Joh 11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Joh 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. I find it very interesting that Martha said the same thing to Jesus, but when Mary said it He wept. I find it difficult to believe He wept for their grief or pain, since He was about to do such a wonderful thing for them. John 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. Why would He have wept? He knew why He was sent there by His father - to resurrect Lazarus! There was no reason for Him to weep over the grave of the one that would be up walking within the hour! Why would He weep for the loved ones that would be shouting glory in just a few minutes? However I do believe that her lack of faith is what cause His grief. Had she not sat at His feet more than Mary? Had she not known Him in a very personal friendship... she had received much from Him as her teacher and savior. He came expecting to find fruit of faith... more than that of Martha. To whom much is given, much is required. He was expecting more from her faith than He did from Martha. For the same reason teachers will be expected to have greater faith... "..Because a teacher has great influence, he will be held more accountable (see Luke 20:47; cf. Matt. 23:1-33)." "3:1 teachers. Since teachers use their tongues (to instruct others) more, they will be judged more strictly." (2) |
