It was the story of Lazarus. He lay in his tomb as he had for days. Jesus came there, to the tomb, knowing He would raise Lazarus. The Son of GOD would perform a wondrous miracle. But He was fully divine yet also fully human. He felt the grief roll over Him. And He wept. Jesus wept and, loving children, I'm sure He laughed. Humans have emotions - sometimes messy ones - and somehow, someway, they show. Especially to those who truely love us. Those closest to Him surely, even when they didn't understand, loved Him. But they could see Him weep. All too often He is portrayed as only divine, the perfect Son of GOD (which He is, but not only). He seems otherwordly, far removed from us - He doesn't seem to fit quite right in our reality. I think those people are missing the point: He was sent by the Father, to take human flesh, to live with the limitations it brought. If He wasn't fully human, would the soul-shaking sacrifice of the crucifiction have been true atonement? Would the resurrection - His human flesh made divine - have shown us our own future glorification? I don't know. I just praise the Father that Jesus wept.
