Jesus wept

Saturday July 30th, John 11: 35Jesus wept. There is no greater vision of the humanity and the Holy brought together in the person of Jesus than this, the shortest verse in the scripture. The compassion of God and the vulnerability of humanity are one in Christ. That Jesus wept at the passing of a friend. With all of our wars, our hording while others are starving, our destruction of the environment for a buck, the death after death after death that we bring upon others in this world, Jesus does a lot of that, Jesus must cry a great deal. In the resurrection we will come face to face with that starving child in India or Africa, or the bombed and burned child in Iraq, and be forgiven, and receive life together with them. Then we will see God face to face. The resurrection.
