Jesus wept (John 11:35) may be the shortest verse in the Bible but for me it is one of the most comforting. Jesus feels our pain. This Lenten Season let us spend extra time praising Jesus because He is a priest to forgive, a prophet to teach, a king to rule, a shepherd to guide and for walking in our shoes.

In the book of Revelations, we are assured that one day all our tears will be wiped away but until that time I take great comfort knowing Jesus wept.
