John 11 "Jesus Wept"

"When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied. Jesus wept." John 11:32-35

There it is. The shortest verse in the Bible. Simply put, Jesus wept. Many say Jesus wept because of the compassion he felt for Lazarus. That He would miss him. That's what the Jews thought as evidenced by verse 36.

But I think verse 38 gives us some more insight to his emotions as he approached the tomb of Lazarus. It says that Jesus was "once more deeply moved". The word for deeply moved means "To have indignation on. To sigh with chagrin." At first this is confusing to me. But then when you think about it, maybe Jesus was frustrated with their lack of faith. They had seen so much that should build their faith, yet Jesus still had to remind them in verse 40, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

God, we do believe, help us with our unbelief.
