The Deep Sadness Jesus Felt

Text: John 11: 38-39

THE DEEP SADNESS JESUS FELT

Jesus did not reply to the opinions He heard all around Him. He was deeply saddened by the lack of faith that prevailed among the people He had ministered to!

“Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, ‘Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.’”
