John Chapter 11 Discussion Page 6

I saw to types of servants of God, Martha said, I know nothing is impossible with God, she told Christ that 's faith she said so even his brother were dead for four days, we also saw her other sister Mary wept and Jesus also wept with them, then after that He raised Lazarus from death, that 's so powerful... When we get into any trouble Jesus go with us and then changes the situation there after to work for us John10V10

this means RESURRECTION AND LIFE IS PERSON and that PERSON IS JESUS CHRIST

So the Jews said, "see how he loved him "the jew saw how jesus wept when he saw the courpse of lazarus, that 's what make them to make the statement that jesu loved him.

i love bible

The BAR is raised from sickness to death Death is more pronounced to show God s ultimate power Glory to His majestic name

Jesus wept because the community did not believe in him, yet Martha and Mary said had He were to be there their brother would not have died.

He abode there 2 more days :-
1. as he knew they will not misunderstand him.
2. coz he loved them very much.
3. HE knew what HE would do. :)

I think Jesus wept because his own people didn't believe who he was.

This is the scripture that reveals God's eternal purpose!

I believe Jesus wept not because of Lazarus but at the level of unbelief that had engulfed the people that came to comfort Mary and Martha. Upon Martha getting the revelation that Jesus was the Sent One and that whatever He asked of the father it will be done, she contradicted herself by now he stinks and people concurred with her. Four days represented the period the Israelis spent in the wilderness, for to God a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day, Jesus confirmed the end of Israelis and Lazarus's wilderness (death) moment

A revelation the Spirit gave me was that Jesus also wept for Lazarus. Jesus understood that Lazarus had been glorified and that He was going to bring him back from paradise. My goodness, imagine how that grieved His Spirit

My Jesus wept from my own point of view is because Jesus while on earth took human being nature even though he was the Son of God and never sined. John 1:14 so he felts for our pains, our emotions, our burdens etc at humans we pass through on earth just like mary and martha. Thank you.

I quote, "O death where is your sting..." my friends there is nothing to be afraid of where there is no death (in Christ Jesus). Our joy is to sing His praise.

I beleive Jesus wept, to show us clearly that He have concern for any one that believed HE is the only solution to his /her problems.

He wept because he knew the suffering of those such as myself many years to come.

JESUS did not WEPT because LAZARUS was DEAD but because HIS DISCIPLES and the rest lost their faith. In fact, during the time that Lazarus was yet sick, JESUS told Martha, "This sickness is NOT unto DEATH, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby" ( John 11:4). Jesus did not wept because He knows that Lazarus was not dead that's why He said to His disciples, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep" ( John 11:11). Furthermore, when Jesus and the disciples got at the place where Lazarus' body was laid, He said to Martha, "Thy brother shall rise again" ( John 11:23). It was only after Jesus saw Mary and the Jews WEEPING that he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, then after that He wept ( John 11:33-35). Much more after He heard some of them said, "Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died", therefore again JESUS groaning in himself cometh to the grave ( John 11:37-38). That was why when He talked the Father he said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that THEY MAY BELIEVE that thou hast sent me" ( John 11:41-42). THEREFORE: It was the unbelief of His disciples and the rest that made him WEPT.

Verse 35; Jesus wept. Jesus wept because of the compassion that he had for the ones he loved namely Martha and Mary. This shows his human side
in that the sadness of his friends moves him to tears. Not unlike us when we find ourselves crying at the funeral of our friend's loved ones.

Our Lord Jesus Christ mentioned a word to the people standing by that he is the resurrection of the dead so He asked the Father to hear him ( John 41-42) because some do not believe that Lazarus could be risen after being dead for four days ( John 11:39).

Jesus States: Believe, Do you believe? Why do you doubt? If you believe... Believe me when I tell you... Believe in Me and Live... He that believeth in Me... John 11:40, (KJV), Jesus saith unto her, "Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the Glory Of God?" Believe thou?

One of the sweetest verse in the BIBLE that give all HOPE for our perpertual LIFE

Jesus wept becos HE JESUS saw how satan take advantage of us and bully human beings becos of lack of believing
the WORD

(This is my response to Rev. Autrey's comment dated 8/11/2013 at 7:01pm on John Chapter 11):

I highly agree to your understanding about WHO our Lord Jesus Christ really is and WHO he was before he came into this world. I hope that more people will read the bible and receive knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of God, so that they would have the chance to know the TRUTH and WHY our Lord Jesus Christ must die for his nation.

I believe Jesus wept, Because of The evil in the world

( John 11:51) "This prophecy that Jesus should die for the entire nation ..." Jesus could die for the sins of the world because he, himself, was God: "... and the Word was God." As the old church song goes, "Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Snd did my Sovreign die?"

What I am saying is, God knew that he was the only one who qualified to do this. Man could not do it because he was, himself, sinful. And no angel could do it because angels or incapable of loving us. Only God is love. And since there was no one greater than himself to appeal to, God decided within himself that it had to be him.

He made himself into a man, died and rose again, and thereby redeemed the human race. All creation looks at this event and wonders how it could be so. But it is so. And God is the only one qualified to do it.

The term "Son of God," then, is only the way God choose to identify himself when he was born as a human!

The twelve hours is the window of time in which to work because there is an equal number of hours of darkness in which no one can work.

Happy Resurrection Day.
Do you know that resurrection is not a place, thing, event or a time.
Resurrection is a person and his name is JESUS!
JOHN 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believe in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
If you received grace , salvation, hope, faith then you need to receive that part that will resurrected you unto a new life.

@Araxi Mangou,
Jesus wept because He was moved with compassion as recorded in John 11:33. Consider a situation where your child had cried sorrowfully for a need that you can meet but she never imagined that Dad is able to help! As a loving father you're likely to be moved to tears seeing your daughter in such a sorrowful condition over something you can provide. Most likely, your wife's tears may flow freely while apologising to your child. Remember also that at that time, Jesus was in the flesh that knows pains!

This chapter is encouraging to my life. Sometimes we ask God: why bad things happen? We think we are so unlucky and if God was there with us, then why did it happen? But here we see that He saw it even before it happened. Let us give Glory to God for everything that happens in our lives, He knows all about all of them.

John 11:35 says Jesus wept. It is a touching scene to see Lazarus' sisters and the neighbours crying. Of course Jesus didn't cry out of compassion. I have never really understood why he wept there, and yet he didn't weep when thousands of people were sitting hungry after his teaching. In both cases He knew what He was going to do afterwards. Can someone explain?

I think Jesus already knew what would happen, because he delayed in order to have the glory of God seen.
