Jesus wept.
Jesus, the Lord of Lords, the King of kings, Emmanuel, the Bright Morning Star. He was and is a man of sorrows.
It is easy for us to view Jesus as a holy being who is merely sympathetic. But, in all reality, Jesus is more empathetic than anyone else on the earth.
Hebrews 2:18 says, "Since He Himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested."
Christ endured the Cross and took upon pain, suffering, hurt, all that we go through and far more. For every time we feel disconnected from God, we should remember how Christ understands that. He was disconnected from His Father upon earth, and though tempted, He relied on the Lord for strength.
In that same empathy, Christ feels what we feel.
Through the Cross, the veil was taken away, inviting man into the very presence of God.
By that action of sacrifice, God enables us to come into unity with Himself.
So, we can feel as God does just as He feels as we do.
Ever time you are hurt, so is Christ. Every time you cry, Christ cries.
For God is not far from the broken. He cannot be.
How can He reject the brokenness of His children?
He will never abandon those whom He loves.
He will not give up on them, no matter how far they run.
2 Timothy 2:13
If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny who He is.
God knows you.
He understand and feels your pain.
Through Christ He has brought you under His wings and called you, "Child."
To think that the God of all creation would care so much that He would weep for a wretch like me.
Such amazing grace. Such amazing love.
But truly, it is as Colossians 1:27 says, "God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
An all-knowing and all-powerful God who chooses to care for me and feel the very pain that I endure. That is something I want to live for. Praise the Lord.
Christ is Enough.
