God Cried For Us.

Jesus prayed.

 

Jesus - offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears.

 

Did you read that? Jesus prayed and entreated God with strong crying and tears.

 

JESUS cried and it wasn't a soft weeping, a silent tear or two. Strong crying, visible tears. You know what it means to cry strongly, don't you?

 

JESUS CRIED STRONGLY as He PRAYED and SUPPLICATED His Father.

 

In His human flesh Jesus was subject to human emotion. As the author of human emotion, Jesus knew feeling. As a human His feeling for mankind, His creation, was as deep as could be. He would offer salvation to mankind and He shed tears, strong crying, His heart ached as He fought to bring eternal life to us.

 

God cried for us.

 

Jesus was not immune to the pain and terrifying prospect of impending death.  He suffered. He prevailed! Praise God!

 

Heb 5:5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 

Heb 5:6  As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 

Heb 5:7  Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 

Heb 5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 

Heb 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him
