"Jesus Wept"

"Jesus wept", this might be the hardest verse in the Bible to understand. I realize that there are very many that are hard and complex. In my opinion this has to be one of them. There is no doubt that God is at all times happier than any of us could ever imagine. His happiness is far beyond the capacities of our own. But here are words that show that He wept actual tears. How can God himself be mournful? I do not know. I believe it. But I don't understand it. But I will give my reason for why I think he wept. I've heard it said that He wept for the effects of sin, but did He not see the effects of sin everyday? I believe it was because of the pain He saw in His friends. That, I find absolutely amazing. God Himself at the sight of the pain of His friends was so moved with compassion towards them that He wept with them. Often I think that there is nothing that I can do in this life that matters or will ever be anything like Christ. I cannot command to the lame to walk, or the blind to see, there's so many things that Christ does that we can never do. But God wept with His friends in their pain, we can do that! I'm sure that Jesus had something He could have been doing, but He stopped and wept with His friends. Never be too busy to show heart filled compassion to another.

John 11:35 "Jesus Wept"

O stone hearted man am I,
To see a friends tear filled eye.
And never with compassion move.
Or show the slightest sign of love.

Yet here I read the strangest thing.
Of a time my glorious King.
At the sight of anothers pain.
Had eyes that began to pour like rain.

Man of Sorrows, yet God the same.
Makes me feel such utter shame.
We never walk in His direction.
Yet He loves with deep affection.

He dwells within unending Joy.
A joy no man could ever destroy.
But this joy has sorrow within.
Sorrow from this world of sin.

If on that day my God did cry,
Why do mine eyes seem so dry?
Should not I always sympathize,
When pain fills up anothers eyes?
