Is Jesus Insensitive to Real Agony and Suffering?
If you're reading this in snippets, you might be tempted to think that Jesus is insensitive to real agony and suffering. When Jesus arrives and meets Mary and Martha, and he sees them weeping, the shortest and most memorable scripture in all of the Bible says, Jesus wept. So it's not just putting a spiritual band-aid on top of their real suffering, but it is meant to show us something: Sometimes God gets the glory out of showing up in our lives. But I don't want us thinking that every single situation in our lives that are difficult will automatically mean that God is going to resurrect it.
