THE DAY GOD CRIED
Hello beautiful people,
I wouldn’t usually do this. Why? Because I am nowhere close to whom I want to be spiritually. However, sometimes there is so much awesomeness in the Word that I just have to share.
So in church today we discussed the above topic, and when the pastor cited John 11:35, I actually rolled my eyes. In my mind, I was like” who doesn’t know the story of Lazarus and how Jesus wept?” but at the end of the service, my mind was blown!
First I will try to summarize the preceding events before Jesus wept. John 11 from verses 1-34 explains the circumstances surrounding the death of Lazarus. Jesus was told that his friend Lazarus was sick but he waited two more days after which Lazarus died. Verse 17 describes his arrival to Bethany, four days after Lazarus was laid in the tomb. When Martha and Mary arrived, they both told Jesus that if he had arrived earlier, their brother would not have died.
Let me offer a little insight on this situation.
