Jesus Wept


"Blessed are those who mourn"
Jesus knew what it meant to mourn. There are two places in the New Testament that share about Christ's mourning.

Luke 19:41-44, Jesus predicts Jerusalem's destruction. "As Jesus came into the city and observed it, He wept over it."

John 11:35, "Jesus wept." When Jesus was at Lazarus' tomb, "Jesus showed that He cares enough for us to weep with us in our sorrow*" as we mourn. * Commentary

In Genesis 7:7, man had become so wicked, it grieved Almighty GOD that He had created man. But, praise His Name, Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD and mankind continued.

Today's world has reached an even farther point of wickedness due to the billions of people who reject Jesus Christ and continue to live in their sin. Accept His salvation He has for you so that you may be comforted by our Almighty GOD to KNOW you will be forever with Him!
