PRAY Let this consciousness be in you, that our sorrows and grief touch him. Whatever makes you cry touches His heart too. The Lord’s heart is touched when your heart is touched. MEDITATEĭid Jesus know He was going to raise Lazarus from the dead? Why then was He weeping? APPLY THE WORD Know the Lord loves us and is touched by our suffering and grief. He is still weeping in intercession over our condition. What do you think goes through His heart when He sees you tormented by that disease or satanic oppression? What do you think goes through His heart when He sees that young girl being raped and sexually abused? What do you think He feels when He sees the world sold out to wickedness, rejecting the salvation He brought and rushing to hell in droves? It is not what He wants. Jesus still sees the grief and sorrow of His people that made Him weep many years ago. Humanity has been in pain, grief, and sorrow since the fall. 4:15 tells us He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities and sorrows. He cried as a Man, but as God, He was seeing His beautiful creation from Adam now under the torturing hands of death and the Devil. He certainly did not just see Lazarus in the grave. Something pierced the heart of Jesus with sorrow.

The verb “to weep” means to shed tears because of sadness or pain.

An interesting fact we know of is that Jesus knew He was going to raise up Lazarus from the dead so His weeping was more than an ordinary grieving for a friend that has died. The Bible does not explicitly tell us why Jesus wept. The historical context was that of a funeral packed with the grief of the loss of a loved one. His friend Lazarus had died, and He could see Mary and Martha weeping. John 11:35 above is the shortest verse in the scripture.
