![]() The answer is always the same, is it not? Nothing. So, no matter how hard we try, we will find our faith ebb and flow. We are creatures of this earth, continually led away from Christ by the things of this world. Or, maybe the better question would be, how consistent is our faith? How strong is our faith? Do we grieve the Lord Jesus Christ because of our lack of faith. Whether I am right or not, we still are left with the same question. Jesus continued to use the natural events in the lives of His friends to show forth the glory of God, and to show them that He was the Son of God. Though their lack of faith grieved them, He continued to strengthen them for the time when He would no longer be there. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Remember, what Jesus said in John 11:4 when he first heard that Lazarus was sick. ![]() I think Jesus wept because He was grieved by the unbelief of the people, especially Mary and Martha. He understood the thoughts of the people, such as those expressed in verse 37.Īnd some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? The clue, to me, is in John 11, verse 40. While that may very well be the answer, somehow I think there was another reason. Why did Jesus weep? I have heard a lot of varying explanations for this, most agreeing that he was overcome with grief over the death of Lazarus.
