AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 11:35 Jesus wept. |
Bible Question: Did Jesus weep over Lazarus' death because of the fact that Lazarus actually was dead or was it because of the lack of faith in the power of God that the people possessed ? Or is neither of these reasons the answer ? |
Bible Answer: Minister Bethune quvmoh is right we can't know for sure that why Jesus wept. I have heard this preached different ways. The big question is why would God cry? He is knowing what He is going to be doing, that He will raise Lazarus from the dead. So why cry, what is the point of cryng over something you know you are going to be fixing? And over showing them you are God 11:14. But as man Jesus has the ability to have sorrow over the death of a man He loved dearly 11:36. So maybe what is going on is that we have Jesus as fully God and fully man. As God He had to need to cry, as man He did, He loved Lazarus and death, altough fixable, sorrowed him. Death comes from sin and the dying of Lazarus may have sorroed Jesus. I have heard that Jesus wept because the people did not believe. But why would that be? He did not weep all the other times no one believed He was God or that He would do miracles. It is true as quvmoh said though, that Jesus showed compassion by weeping and this points more and more to His full humanity. blessings abound, bowler |
