Jesus Wept | John 11:35 | Our Daily Bread Video Devotional

“Jesus wept” is not only the shortest verse in the Bible, but it’s also one of the most profound. Those two words are some of the most significant in all of Scripture because of what they tell us about the character of our God and the heart of our Savior. If you’re going through the “valley of the shadow of death,” watch this video to hear Steven Curtis Chapman, the most awarded artist in Christian music history, share insights about how this verse comforted him when he and his family entered their moment of deepest grief.

Jesus, hear my prayers these past three years have been difficult on me I am weak. Give me guidance. Please come back soon I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. As a single parent things are hard on me both of my sons are autistic and my hours to work are limited because I’m now homeschooling them. I’m constantly struggling to provide the basic necessities for them I’m so ashamed. I suffered an heart attack and I’m battling lupus I’m overwhelmed. Lord heal me. Father God hear my prayers. I constantly struggle to pay my bills and struggle to provide groceries. BUT I KEEP FAITH. Even though I want to give up. Jesus please take the fear from my heart. Father God it is you that gives me the strength to keep going. I praise you Father even as I fear homelessness please continue to give me strength.

Thank you, SCC, for that powerful perspective! John 11:35 means much more to me particularly when seen through the eyes of someone who’s experienced profound loss.

When we weep, it’s comforting to know that the Lord of all creation still weeps with us as He did for Lazarus.

[ilikeitful]

I am so sorry to have heard about your loss. Even if it is a couple of years back, the emptiness left in ones soul by the loss of child, stays forever. My our Lord continue to comfort you and your family! God bless!!

[cynthiathorpe]

This was so powerful and touching.. Jesus wept makes me want to break down and cry with Him.🙏. God bless you Steven 🙏 Curtis Chapman for your courage in presenting this to us through ODB.

To weep, is to express. To express, is to reveal whats in the heart from the soul. To let yourself express is to be honest in how you feel and who you are. To live such a way is truth, and by being like Immanuel- Jesus Christ, we can express ourselves in him freely and in love and truth. Glory be to God who intervenes on our behalf even when we don't know how to express how we feel.

[tommieball]

Lord Jesus, thank You for loving us so much that You became one of us. I am humbled and amazed that You left Your throne in heaven to experience our pain and human suffering. Your love and compassion for us is what keeps us holding on to Your unchanging hand. Every tear we shed is not only wiped away by You Lord but thank You for weeping with us. Every tear we shed is recorded in Your bottle. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning Lord because only You can take away our pain. Your joy will be our strength in our times of pain and sorrow. Precious in Your sight O Lord is the death of all of Your saints. We look forward for the day when there will be no more tears, pain, death and sorrow in Your glorious kingdom. Thank You for being the Resurrection and the Life; whoever believes in will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in You will never die. We believe this Lord. Our hope is in You Lord for if You raised Lazarus from the tomb, surely You will raise us and our loved ones as well. In the victorious name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

[janehelbert]

Lord we thank You for Your empathy of Your friend even knowing You were going to raise him from the dead. It showed us the human side of You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
