The passage we are focusing on today includes one of these two occasions, but for this journal entry, I want to focus on something we can learn by looking at both of these occasions side by side. By looking at these two verses side by side, there is an interesting side of Jesus\u2019 character that we can discover.<\/p>\r\n<p>Without delay, here are the two verses:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li><strong>\u201cHe [Jesus] came closer to the city, and when he saw it, he wept over it, . . . \u201d<\/strong> (v. 41)<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>\u201cJesus wept. \u2018See how much he loved him [Lazarus]!\u2019 the people said.\u201d<\/strong> (John 11:35-36)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>These are the only two verses that I am aware of where Jesus cries, and when we look at the contexts, they are very distinct. <\/p>\r\n<p>In Luke\u2019s passage, Jesus is weeping over Jerusalem <em>(His city &amp; His chosen people)<\/em> and about how they have continually rejected Him. <\/p>\r\n<p>In John\u2019s passage, Jesus weeps over the lost life of someone He loved \u2013 a friend. This is a strange place for Jesus to \u201ccry\u201d, especially knowing that Lazarus will not remain dead for much longer. This makes me wonder if there is something else going on in this passage that we don\u2019t initially see.<\/p>\r\n<p>When we place these two passages side by side, looking at what causes Jesus to cry, we get the following big thought: <strong>Jesus cares deeply over both His chosen people, and His close friends. He loves every single being (person, animal, angel) that has ever been created\/born, and He does not want anyone to perish. He also loves the people who He (God) has set apart to be a light to the rest of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><em>We can bring great joy to the heart of God when we follow Jesus both individually and collectively.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<div id=\"aj-wrap-up--205\" class=\"aj-wrap-up\"><p><em>This thought was inspired by studying the <strong>Walking With Jesus<\/strong> \u201cReflective Bible Study\u201d package.
