Reflecting Divine Love in Our Lives
Finally, “Jesus wept” is a testament to the depth of God’s love for humanity. It reveals a God who is not distant or detached but one who is deeply moved by our struggles. This divine empathy is not passive; it’s an active, relentless force that seeks to restore, heal, and redeem. As followers of Christ, we are invited to mirror this love in our lives, to weep with those who weep, and to rejoice with those who rejoice. In doing so, we become conduits of divine love, offering glimpses of hope and restoration to a world in need.
