Emotions

"Jesus wept." John 11:35

A verse that has been talked about a lot over the course of my life. The shortest verse in the Bible is it's claim to fame. But when was the last time you really looked at that verse and contemplated the amazing depth of those two words? Jesus loved Lazarus and was troubled and moved by all the weeping and mourning around Him so He wept too.

Jesus had emotion (I know . . . you're probably thinking "well of course"). He loved and He wept. We often think of him as a Teacher or our Savior - which is truly wonderful and amazing, but how often do we see His Humanness? It's nice to see the qualities we experience reflected back through Him.

Father, help me to see you as real. All too often you seem so distant even though it's my fault.
