Jesus Wept


John 11:35 says that “Jesus wept.” I wonder what kind of tears they were. Was it a welling up of fluid in the eyes? Was it a steady and dignified stream or did the weight of living when others have died produce a deep groaning of the soul that can only be expressed through gasps and sobs. What kind of a man was Jesus? Maybe he felt pain just as harshly as the rest of us. - Christopher Ingersoll
