Have You Read This Story!!
John 11:33-38
(33) When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
(34) And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
(35) Jesus wept.
(36) Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
(37) And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
(38) Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
I was looking up the word Groaning and found it to be fascinating. The word groaning means:
embrimaomai
em-brim-ah'-om-ahee
To snort with anger; to have indignation on, to blame, to sigh with chagrin, to sternly enjoin.
What was Jesus so angry about? Lets look....
When the jews were weeping and people were weeping Jesus Groaned.
When people said, "Hey culdn't this man have keep Lazarus Alive." Jesus Groaned.
We come to the conclusion that Jesus groans in reference to doubt and unbelief. God is not please with doubt. He is angered with people who have no faith and trust in Him. People who decide to live with no hope. Some will even say that God was angry at sin and death. That death has caused people the grief, pain and doubt. No matter how you see Jesus was not at all happy to the circumstance that occurred. Since I believe this was all the plan of Jesus in reference to death the only conclusion we can come to is that Jesus was angry at the people. Their attitude and behaviour during troubling times.
Makes me wonder how I should be when I go through trouble and trials. James through the Spirit says it this way,
James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; (3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
May God forgive us when we doubt Him through times of dispair and challenges.
