JESUS wept.
John 11:35
+ + +
Who+ in the days of HIS+ flesh, when HE+ had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save HIM+ from death, and was heard in that HE+ feared . . . Hebrews 5:7
+ + +
Once at the grave of Lazarus; once in the Garden of Gethsemane.
What made HIM+ cry ?
DEATH.
The Death of man was NEVER intended at Creation.
At the grave of Lazarus His+ friend, HE+ wept for our SORROW that entered the human race through death.
HE+ wept for the DEATH that did not have to be, the death that was not originally planned for the human race.
The LORD JESUS hated that “work” of satan. Death entered the human race only because satan seduced the human race TO MIS-TRUST THE LORD, The ELOHIM.
Doubting the GOODNESS OF GOD TOWARDS MAN and “suspecting” that The LORD “withheld” something good ( knowledge, wisdom ) from man were LIES, the implants of the devil .
All LIES bring DEATH.
Our GOOD and RIGHTEOUS and HOLY LORD wept over mankind !
Man was NOT created to die.
Man was created to LIVE FOREVER with The LORD in Paradise. In Companionship. In Joy, health, and happiness.
But it is written, “JESUS WEPT.”
That evil one planted this mistrust of The GOOD and RIGHTEOUS and HOLY ELOHIM into Eve and perhaps into Adam as well.
When we mistrust The LORD, we will sin.
We take matters into our own hands and do our own Will. We live our life “our” way and rule GOD out. We sin in order to make ourselves “happy,” for one lie begets another lie.
LIES bring DEATH. TRUTH+ brings LIFE+ .
JESUS said,
“I+, I+ AM the Way, The TRUTH, and the LIFE.”
HE+ meant it.
“. . . NO MAN comes to The FATHER, but by ME+.”
HE+ meant that too.
HE+ is the ONLY WAY to Heaven because . . .
HE+ is the ONLY ONE Who+ conquered DEATH.
HE+ conquered DEATH by dying.
Hebrews 2:14-15
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
HE+ also HIMSELF+ likewise took part of the same;
that through death HE+ might destroy
him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
+ + +
We conquer sin’s lures by dying TO SELF.
We conquer life by Living for JESUS.
We conquer death when we BELIEVE, passing from death unto LIFE, according to The WORDS of CHRIST.
24 Verily, verily, I+ say unto you,
He that heareth My+ Word,
and believeth on HIM that sent ME+,
hath Ever-Lasting LIFE,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:24
Have we passed the Belief-test , the test of TRUST ?
Or . . . Do we rather still believe satan’s LIES about our Heavenly FATHER and HIS SON+ and their goodness to us at all times and in every place and under each and every circumstance in our life ?
