The Conversation with Mary

Text: John 11: 34-36

THE CONVERSATION WITH MARY

Jesus did not speak to Mary as He did with Martha. That would not have yielded any significant result.

“And He said, ‘Where have you laid him?’ They said to Him, ‘Lord, come and see.’ Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, ‘See how He loved him!’”

John 11:34-36

1. “And He said, ‘Where have you laid him’”

a. Jesus spoke to more than just Mary.
b. He was addressing all who came with Mary.
c. Where was the tomb of Lazarus?

2. “They said to Him, ‘Lord, come and see’”

a. The reply was swift.
b. They knew where Lazarus was laid.
c. They invited Jesus to see the tomb where Lazarus was laid.

3. “Jesus wept”

a. John noted the tears that came to the eyes of the Lord Jesus.
b. But he did not explain why He had wept.

4. “Then the Jews said, ‘See how He loved him’”

a. This was an assumption of the Jews.
b. They thought that Jesus wept because Lazarus had died.
c. They thought that these were the natural tears of love that are shed when a loved one has departed.

THE DEEPER REASONS FOR THE TEARS OF JESUS

There were deeper reasons that must be understood.

1. What the tears of Jesus did not mean

a. These were not tears of despair for Jesus knew that Lazarus had died.
b. These were not mere tears for the death of a loved one for He had come to raise him up.

2. What the tears of Jesus meant

a. Tears of sorrow that there was such a deep sense of unbelief.
b. Tears of sadness that those who were very close to Him did not fully understand who He was!

经文：约翰福音 11：34-36

与马利亚的对话

耶稣没有像和马大一样地和马利亚对话。这不会有任何有意义的结果。

“便说：‘你们把他安放在哪里？’ 他们回答说:‘请主来看。’耶稣哭了。 犹太人就说：‘你看，他爱这人是何等恳切！’”

《约翰福音 11：34-36》

1. “便说：‘你们把他安放在哪里？’”

a. 耶稣不仅是和马利亚说话
b. 祂是对所有跟随马利亚到来的人说
c. 拉撒路的坟墓在哪里？

2. “他们回答说：‘请主来看。’”

a. 他们迅速地回答了
b. 他们知道拉撒路被安置的地方
c. 他们邀请耶稣去拉撒路的坟墓

3. “耶稣哭了”

a. 约翰记载了主耶稣的眼眶里有泪水
b. 可是他并没有解释祂为何哭

4. “犹太人就说：‘你看，他爱这人是何等恳切！’”

a. 这是犹太人的假设
b. 他们认为耶稣哭泣是因为拉撒路死了
c. 他们以为耶稣流的泪是当至亲至爱的人离去而流的泪

耶稣眼泪更深的理由

我们要了解更深一层的理由。

1. 耶稣的眼泪不代表的：

a. 这不是绝望的眼泪，因为耶稣知道拉撒路已过世
b. 这不是为至亲的死亡而流的泪，因为祂来就是为了复活他

2. 耶稣眼泪的意义

a. 因为他们的信不足，而流下悲哀的眼泪
b. 因为至亲的人并不完全了解祂是谁，而流下悲哀的眼泪
