A five-minute Christian meditation and lectio divina practice on John 11:33-35, with a reading from Brian Zahnd's Unseen Existences. Day 38 of the Unseen Existences series.
Scripture John 11:33-35 (NIV) When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied. Jesus wept.
Refrain In the silence, Jesus weeps with me.
Quote Brian Zahnd, from Unseen Existences "Yes, Jesus knew he was about to raise Lazarus, he knew it even before Lazarus died. Yet even knowing he would soon raise Lazarus, Jesus helped shoulder the burden of that bitter half hour with Mary and Martha by grieving with them. During heaven's silence when it appears our prayers go unanswered and our grief unassuaged, Jesus weeps with us." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
