Love God Love One Another

“Lord, if you had been here”…was Martha’s lament in a grief-filled moment. Jesus entered the fragility of that moment to weep with Mary—and to suffer with the suffering world. Jesus weeping was an outburst of brotherly love, a broken heart for his friend, Lazarus. In this same way, today, God hears our cries and demonstrates love for us. We are not alone in the midst or our grief, tragedy, and disappointment. Emmanuel, God is with us.
