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." )

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 10/2/2021 1:18:00 PM 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!

Kira Marie Mccullough Date: 9/30/2021 9:34:00 AM 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! Login to Reply Gordon Mcconnell Date: 9/30/2021 11:29:00 AM 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
