About this episode
Perhaps the shortest verse in the entire Bible, John 11:35 records that Jesus wept. Many in the crowd imagined that he loved Lazarus deeply but if that's the case, then why did he not save Lazarus in the first place? The gospel leaves us to wrestle with these questions even as we wonder how to grieve in the light of our hope in Jesus.

For Reflection:
Jesus weeps. Jesus is angered. Like the crowd, we are left to wonder why.
- Why do you think that Jesus was angered (v33)?
- Why do you imagine that Jesus wept (v35)?
- How was grieving and loss addressed by adults around you while growing up?
- How do you handle grief and loss today? What influence has the Bible and Christian community had on your experience and expression of grief?
