Jesus wept: because of unbelief!

Hello to All:

How to begin, bringing some sense and the revelation of truth, to our understanding of the shortest verse in the King's Book (John 11:35); where we find written: "Jesus wept." The title of this posting, should give a pretty clear indication of my own stand on this matter. I have, consistently taught, that Jesus wept: because of unbelief! The question, now before us, is this: Is this conclusion - "because of unbelief" - the reason that: "Jesus wept?"

It is going to take a number of postings, to be able to fully and adequately answer the above question. But, let me say this, before any more is written: I would not have written the title, as it is, if I did not believe that it was absolutely true. But, let us also be reminded, that just because I, or anyone else, say that something is true, does not necessarily mean that it is true. Jesus Christ, The Living Word, is the Truth. His written Word is the revelation of that Truth. Thus, if it cannot be demonstrated, from the King's Book, that "Jesus wept," because of unbelief; then it cannot be received as the truth. Our task, then, as we continue in our quest for: "Victorious Discipleship in Jesus Christ"- is to examine the King's Book (through subsequent postings); and demonstrate the absolute truth that: Jesus wept - because of unbelief!

Until next time, my beloved brethren, in Jesus Christ, I continue to be:

Your servant and your fellow pilgrim,
Elder Theophilus
