Lessons from when Jesus Wept

"Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:35), even though Jesus knew He was about to bring Lazarus back to life.
This tells me three things about the holiness and love of God.
1. How awful sin must be to a holy God that the penalty for our
rebellion against Him is such a terrible, terrible thing as death.

2. How wonderful is God’s love to us sinful creatures that He sent his own Son to pay the penalty for our sin by means of His death on the cross.
3. How inconceivable is the theistic-evolutionary presupposition that a God of love would have used a process of death and suffering over millions of years to produce the first human beings."
