Two words.

The shortest verse in the Bible.

These two words draw us to our Savior.

We tend to try to hide our emotions from the world, or push the sadness to the back of our minds.

But with these two words God wants us to know it’s ok to be sad.

God wants us to know He sees us.

He understands.

Jesus, the One who always was and always is,

The Creator at the universe

The First and the Last

The Beginning and the End

The One who knows He has overcome sin, death, and Satan

The Savior of the world

wept.

Because this world hurts.

We can know that Heaven and a great reunion await us, but it doesn’t completely take away the hurt that we feel while we’re still here.

Jesus knew that.

He felt that.

And He wept.

Jesus loved deeply. And hurt deeply.

And if you’re feeling this way today, it’s ok to let the tears fall.

But know that one day, your Savior is going to wipe them all away.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Revelation 21:4

  1. Your words are an affirmation of my Pastor’s Sunday sermon this last Sunday 7/23/23. I went to visit a friend I had not spoken with since way before COVID. She is suffering from severe depression because of her illness. Out of the blue she shared your “Two Words” with me. I almost fell off of my chair. I had not told her of what my Pastor spoke on. GOD IS GOOD! He constantly reassures me of the path I’m on. God is right there weeping and loving us no matter what and one day we will be with him in joy and there will be no more weeping. Thank-you, for your encouragement and may God continually bless you and your family.
