Shedding Tears Sent From Heaven - John 11: 35

Jesus came to earth as a man but still had His divinity on show being complete as God and man no one had seen His like, hey hello! Jesus loved especially three special friends Lazarus and his two sisters were so close their brother was ill in need of help sent for Jesus who delays before He goes Jesus came to raise Lazarus from the dead but before that shows He does shed tears His emotion was stirred proving His love showing that His Father in heaven hears Jesus sympathizes with our feelings He knows how frail and feeble we are so that when we feel fears within our Lord draws near being not far Jesus is God and showed Himself man so we can know His wonderful love shedding tears sent from heaven today assures us Jesus is always enough (John 11:35-"And Jesus Wept." )

I love this. I did not know until I was in my late 30's that Jesus was God in the flesh. It made an enormous difference in my love for Him when I learned this! How could I have ever missed this when I had been to many churches in my life. My dear friend (my uncle's brother), is a priest. He was so surprised I had not known God was Himself the Son! He told me if I was raised in his church, I wouldn't have missed that fact! Our Lord and our God is so WONDERFUL. I love your poem!

Thank you for an inspirational poem! I was meditating on this story in the Bible during my prayer time this morning. Your poem captures the true story beautifully!

Hi Kira Marie, So glad you enjoyed this piece and found it so inspiring. I'm in Scotland and was wondering if you had an Scottish connection? As your surname has Scottish roots. So good to meet a fellow Christian believer. Take care and God bless you, Gordon
