Reading – John 11:1-44

Highlight Verse:

“Then Jesus wept.”
‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

One of our members just lost their adult son to a long-term illness.

I cannot begin to express my sympathy for them. It is a situation that no parent should ever have to deal with.

As a father to an adult daughter who has multiple medical issues, the situation spikes my fears.

I don’t know what I would do in that situation.

But I know what Jesus would do.

He would weep.

He would sympathize with our sorrow. He is well acquainted with pain and sorrow.

There are times when He will step in and heal. I believe in healing and know that God is able to extend life.

I also know that all of us are only on this earth for a limited time.

In theory, I trust God’s timing.

I try to trust in practice as well.

Please join me in praying for that family who is dealing with loss that God would be their comfort and strength even as their faith is tested.

Thank you.
