Tears
Two words.
They could’ve been left out.
Two words.
Out of over 783,000 other words.
Two words.
God had a purpose for them.
Jesus wept.
Two words.
The shortest verse in the Bible.
These two words draw us to our Savior.
We tend to try to hide our emotions from the world, or push the sadness to the back of our minds.
But with these two words God wants us to know it’s ok to be sad.
God wants us to know He sees us.
He understands.
Jesus, the One who always was and always is,
The Creator of the universe
The First and the Last
The Beginning and the End
The One who knows He has overcome satan, sin, and death
The Savior of the world
wept.
Because this world hurts.
We can know that Heaven
and a great reunion awaits us,
but it doesn’t completely take away
the hurt that we feel while we’re still here.
Jesus knew that.
He felt that.
And He wept.
Jesus loved deeply. And hurt deeply.
And if you’re feeling this way today, it’s ok to let the tears fall.
But know that one day,
your Savior
is going to wipe them all away.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
