Jesus gråt

Jeg leser blant annet boken " How to forgive ourselves - totally", skrevet av R.T. Kendall. Det er en fantastisk bra bok og jeg ville gjerne dele et utdrag fra boken her:

"When Martha and Mary sent word to Jesus that His friend Lazarus was ill, they assumed that Jesus would stop what He was doing, come immediately to Bethany, and heal Lazarus. But He showed up four days after the funeral instead.
Mary and Martha were bewildered - and angry. When Jesus finally came to Bethany, they blamed Him for their brother's death, pointing there fingers at Him one at a time, saying, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died" (John 11:21,32). Jesus had no pseudoguilt for arriving when He did. After all, His priority was to the Father (John 5:19). Jesus listened and did not moralize them. He knew they were in grief. Instead of making them feel guilty, He wept with them (John 11:35)."

Jeg liker måten han framstille Jesu karakter her =)
Dessuten syns jeg at det er helt genialt at det står svart på hvit at Jesus gråt. Jeg har hørt en god del gonger av forskjellige mennesker, at de syns de gråter alt for mye, at de liksom ikke klarer å slutte(de er selvfølgelig i en vanskelig periode og for meg er det veldig logisk at de gråter). Det blir så godt for meg at Jesus gråt og siden vi er kalt til å være så lik ham som mulig, så skal vi gråte når vi går inn i en sorg, eller noe vanskelig skjer i livet vårt. Det er helbredelse i tårene, det er slik Gud skapte oss.

Forresten; Gratulera masse med dagen, Hans Magnus! =)
Guds fred og velsignelse for dagen.
