It took me a long time to accept the idea that Jesus' tears at Lazarus' grave were simply compassion for the people He loved. Today I read it again with new eyes. I noticed the description of Jesus' anger at their unbelief. Martha said that she believed Him to be Messiah, but their unbelief was incompatible with that statement. Could it be that Jesus tears really were a deep spiritual anger because they had seen so much, yet believed so little? If that's so, how much have I seen and how little have I believed? Ouch!
