JESUS HEALS WITH LOVE

“When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept.  Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!”

John 11:33-36 KJV

Jesus wept because they were weeping.  Our Saviour has a heart of compassion.  Someone said if men cry, they are sissies.  Jesus cried and He is not a sissy.  Jesus didn’t cry because Lazarus was dead.  Jesus wept because He loved Lazarus.  Jesus heals with love, unconditional love.

My Mother died on Christmas day several years ago and I miss her so much.  Some people told me that a Christian should not cry when someone dies so I didn’t cry. I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that if Jesus cried because Lazarus was dead you and I can cry when our loved ones die.

I have nurses who come to my home to see me and just like Jesus did, they heal with love.  Before they take my blood pressure, they talk to me like we’re old friends.  They know if your heart is sick, you are sick all over.  It is so important and even urgent that we are encouragers to each other.

There are people who are going through dark valleys, people who are discouraged, heartbroken and lonely.  There are even some people who are suicidal.  These people need to see the unconditional love that Jesus has for them by our kind loving words and actions.  Hug someone for Jesus today.
