The Tears of Jesus by James Goll

Gospel Accounts of The Tears of Jesus:

John 11:33-35, "When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 'Where have you laid him?' He asked. 'Come and see, Lord,' they replied. Jesus wept."

Luke 19:41, "As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it."

Matthew 26:38, "Then He said to them, 'My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.'"

When Jesus saw the throngs of people who were suffering as a result of their sins, He was moved with compassion for them. Often, He even wept over them.

Thank you Lord for your love and compassion for those who mourn.

God Sees Every Tear

Psalm 56:8-13,
"Thou hast taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Thy vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to Thee. For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, indeed my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living."

2 Kings 20:5,
"Return and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, ''Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David, "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord...'"

Father, I thank you for seeing our tears because of your love for us.

What Will God Do With Our Tears?:

Isaiah 25:8, "He will swallow up death for all time, and the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken."

Revelation 7:17, "For the Lamb in the center of the throne shall be their Shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes."

Revelation 21:4, "And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

Halleluah! Praise God! He will wipe every tear in Heaven!
No more tears of mourning in Heaven!

Dear Lord Jesus,
grant us the gift of tears and a compassionate heart to see life spring forth from situations and circumstances that seem so lifeless. Lord, we desire Your heart. As Ezekiel cried out, "Rend not our garments but rend our hearts and let streams of tears flow in the wastelands to see life spring up."
Amen.
