Why Did Jesus Weep? by Emusan(m): 10:58am On Dec 27, 2020
We're very familiar with some of the events recorded about Jesus Christ the Saviour but I've noticed that people don't really pay attention to this particular one.

There were occasions in Scripture when Jesus wept and lamented. It seems logical to ask ourselves then, why did the saviour of the world weep and lament?

Jesus Christ wept out of compassion for those that were hurting.
When you hurt, Jesus hurts too because He loves.

Jesus is Michael (Archangel) though he was the only creature directly created by God, that's why he's referred to as the only begotten son of God {John 3:16} as the first creature in God's image he himself is a god {John 1:1} he was the one and only person with God before the creation of all other things! John 1:2; Colossians 1:15-16

During the creation of all other things God used Jesus like his master employee to do many things {Proverbs 8:22, 30} of all the works God used Jesus to create the most appealing to Jesus is humans! Proverbs 8:31

That's why Jesus often feel pained whenever humans suffer, he purposely came to gather the lost sheep of the house of Israel for a special arrangement {Matthew 15:24} but Satan has done a lot of homework on the Jews so by the time Jesus arrived as the promised Messiah his own people have been thoroughly brainwashed to the extent that they rejected him! John 1:11, 9:22

But few amongst the Jews put faith in him and Jesus was overjoyed at least Satan is put to shame {Luke 10:18} so when Jesus now saw how his own friends who have put faith in him were crying just because of DEATH that will soon be conquered (Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:3-4} Jesus couldn't just stand it anymore that's why he gave way to tear! John 11:35

He cried not only because his faithful friends were suffering due to the sin of Adam and Eve, but he felt the long years that still lies ahead that his obedient children (by faith) will have to bear the pains of loosing their loved ones just as Mary and Martha were agonized at the death of their brother Lazarus! cry

But he wept not once and at different occasions. He even wept over Jerusalem.

Irrelevant!

Well this is accurate but didn't capture the whole instances where Jesus wept and groaned.

No I was not. But it is obvious it is not an eye witness account. I know that men know how to lie too much, so I will take it with a pinch of salt...

Why Jesus wept? I have read many accounts of Jesus Life and Ministry. Many accounts! The Canonical and the so called hidden ones. For me the closes as to why Jesus wept can be found in the Gospel of Barnabas.

He wept on many occasions. Over israel for their rejection of him because it will lead to eternal damnation. He wept over Jerusalem when he foretold it descruction because the Jews valued the Temple more meaningful than obeying God. He wept in many places and instant.

Jesus is not an angel.
The Bible is specific on that.
Please see Hebrews 1 and Mark 13:32 on the hierarchy that Jesus taught about.
Jesus placed the hierarchy thus: Man-angels-the son-father.
No where it is stated that he was an angel.


“But of that day or that hour knoweth
1. no one,
2. not even the angels in heaven,
3. neither the Son,
4. but the Father.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭13:32‬ ‭ASV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/12/mrk.13.32.asv

“God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire: but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:1-4, 6-8‬ ‭ASV‬‬
