In a poignant scene, Jesus weeps over what awaits Jerusalem. This take place after Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem with the crowds shouting "Hosanna" and waving palm branches.
He also has some difficult words about why he is weeping over Jerusalem.
it has me wondering why we weep?
When we are angry? Was Jesus angry?
When we are sad? Was Jesus sad?
When we are overwhelmed? Was Jesus overwhelmed?
Tears of joy? Presumably Jesus was not feeling much joy in that moment.
Did he have tears in part because of what he knew was waiting for him?
Jesus also wept when he arrived at Lazarus' tomb. Interestingly, he perhaps knows that he will raise Lazarus.
