AND JESUS CRIES

"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
King James Version

When Jesus saw them weeping, it broke His heart and He wept because He loved them. I believe as Jesus hung on the cross when He was crucified for your sins and for my sins that as the blood flowed down His body that tears also ran down His face. He was in agony and pain that you and I will never know but I believe He was also weeping because He loves us so much.

Jesus tells us in the Bible that He wants us to have a happy life. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John10:10). Yes, Jesus wants us to be happy and the only way we will be happy is by making Him happy. It breaks His heart when we say mean hateful words and do cruel and unkind things to one another.

It is time we stop hurting Jesus and breaking His heart and start loving one another unconditionally as He loves us. I am not perfect. You are not perfect. Jesus is the only perfect Person Who ever lived or ever will live. Jesus hasn't been here for over two thousand years to hug us. He has left us to hug for Him. When is the last time you hugged Jesus by hugging your loved ones? May God have mercy on us if we are hurting His beloved Son because we don't love one another. if you don't feel comfortable hugging, hug your loved ones with kind and encouraging words.
