1 | weep with others is more important? | Rom 12:15 | Searcher56 | 216223 | ||
God's day to you, Azure, I have had friends that I rejoiced with and wept with (or for). The level we do either is important. I have a friend who lost a family member ... it impacted me more than any other person except for a family member. I chose to give her a hug and attend functions. I think rejoicing takes less energy.

Just click on the latest response. Thank you all for your input. Is there anywhere else in the Bible that teaches or even hints that one is more important than the other or vice versa? Shalom Azure |

3 | weep with others is more important? | Rom 12:15 | stjohn | 216225 | ||
Dear Azure, I don't think so, Azure. It appears from my -however limited- knowledge of Scripture, that they are both taught as equally important. Reading this chapter (Romans 12) gives us a very good picture of how we are to act toward one another in the spirit of Christian love. Showing in all things toward our brethren to give generously as it has been given to us: v 6a "Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly:" If you are one who finds it easy to rejoice, then, if someone is rejoicing, rejoice with them, for all you are worth, and if you are one who has a special place in your heart for those who are grieving, then, by all means, show this with empathy, and tender compassion. I know you will! :-) God bless John |
