"...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die... "
John 11:
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Jesus wept. I and you, we weep in deep sorrow for the ones who we love that pass who are lost... and the ones that we do not know who die forever out of Christ. Oh my God, let us go home, for when we find this deepest state of love overcoming us with His Love and His sorrow, we are ready if He shall call!
Our Lord wept over Jerusalem. He wept for Lazarus, His friend. And He raised him from the dead only to die again. He hates death but He weeps. He is sorrowful for a bird that falls from it's perch and creation that was made into travail because of sin and it's birth of the irreversible disease of death. He conquered death for us. He holds the key to life eternal.
THERE IS A WAY TO HELP
He wept for the millions of Jews of His flesh family who would perish without Him. He knew they were lost forever...what grief! He wept for the ones who would betray Him and convince the Romans to crucify Him in a most God awful way...He was so sorrowful for them! He wept for the ones who pierced His glorious body with metal stakes that finally led to His long agonizing death, but for a moment in time. As he died He asked our Father and His FATHER to forgive them, for they knew not what they were doing.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS ETERNAL DEATH SEPARATED FROM GOD FOREVER
To weep and be sad and anguished to the small extent we are, compared to His grief for ALL those in history who were finally and totally lost through sin not forgiven, sin that was griping them, sin that they had no idea was sin, the deception of death within, the drug of Satan, is to be a joy and strength to us. For in such a state we move closer to the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit in the deepest love of Jesus for all the lost of all time and we "Rock Solid" and more faithful as a result.
Rev.20:
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
GO OUT AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
God is moving in our life. God is pruning us for stronger and more abiding works before He calls us Home. He IS calling us now, to serve Him, in the sorrows, and the anguish, and the grief. For in these deepest of emotions JESUS is there and we are one WITH HIM.

GOD BLESS AND SHARE THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION BY JESUS CHRIST
