NASB | John 11:35 Jesus wept. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 11:35 Jesus wept. |
Subject: He wept not for their grief |
Bible Note: Makarios - I'd like to offer another reflection on this verse. The follow verse says, "See how He loved him." This prompts me to see another possible reality through the tears of Jesus. I'm thinking that He didn't weep for the immediate, present reality of this tomb. I see Jesus weep because of His love for the whole world (John 3:16) and the reality of eternal separation for those whom He loves but who reject Him.(Heb 10:29-31) I'm also wondering if this might be considered an example of "the fear of the Lord?"
