Meeting Up with Jesus

Text: John 11: 32-33

MEETING UP WITH JESUS

Mary finally met Jesus. There was a following of mourners with her at that time.

“Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, ‘Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.’ Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her, weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.”
