Jesus wept. 

So the Jews said, 

"See how he loved him!"

But some of them said, "Couldn't he who opened the blind man's eyes also have kept this man from dying?"

John 11:35-37 CSB

Jesus exposed. 

In all his humanity weeping at the grave of his friend. 

Even though in his divinity he is going to act, he knows the pain of loss and separation that death brings.

He knows. 

And he wasn't covering it up or hiding it, but allowing the tears to flow at the injustice of death, and the pain and loss that we carry in this world.

And still people were divided over Jesus. 

Still they wanted a messaiah who fitted their mold, their ideas. 

And they missed Jesus who weeps.

They missed Jesus who knows.

It's almost like this piece of time is a microcosm of the time that we live in, the time between Redemption, and Restoration, Jesus is going to make everything right, but in that moment,  the pain and reality of life are sitting with him.

And he cries.

Jesus is returning, and all will be made new, all the hurt unhurt, all the brokenness unbroken, and in the now and not yet, Jesus knows.

Jesus weeps.
