He Wept

The Concept

God, standing at a grave, crying.

He was minutes from raising Lazarus. He knew how it ended. He wept anyway.

Not because he was helpless — because he was not detached. The one who could fix it still stood at the tomb and grieved with the ones who couldn't.

Whatever you were told about a distant, arms-crossed heaven, the shortest verse in the book says the opposite: Jesus wept. He is not unmoved. He never was.

— John 11:35
