How Does Jesus Feel About You?

Scripture

John 11

²⁵ Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. ²⁶ Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”

Observation

This has got to be one of my all time favorite stories in the entire Bible! I have shared this story at almost every funeral that I have ever done. I almost always work it in either as an illustration or as the main text. I can’t believe that after someone reads John 10 and John 11 they wouldn’t put their faith and trust  in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Take time to read both of these chapters today.

In John 10 Jesus talks about how much He loves His sheep. How He is the Good Shepherd that lays His life down for His sheep and in John 11 Jesus shows how much He loves His sheep. As you read John 11 you can feel how much Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. Read these verses slowly and see if you don’t pick up the love and the grief that Jesus had for them: 

 “When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled.” ³⁴ “Where have you put him?” he asked them. They told him, “Lord, come and see.” ³⁵ Then Jesus wept.

The way that Jesus felt about Martha, Mary, and Lazarus is just the way He thinks and feels about me. And if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ it is just the way He thinks and feels about you. Do you believe what Jesus says in John 11:25? Let me put my name in this verse! I would encourage you to do the same thing!

     ²⁵ Jesus told Eddy, “I am the resurrection and the life. Eddy if you believe in me then you will live, even after dying. ²⁶ Eddy who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this?”

How did Jesus feel about me when I was I suffering my heart attack? How did He feel about me as I was hanging on to life by a thread? How did He feel as He heard people crying out to Him for Him to save me?  I can tell You exactly how He felt. Just read John 11:33-35 and see if you can discover how Jesus feels about you. 

“When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled.” “Where have you put him?” he asked them. They told him, “Lord, come and see.” Then Jesus wept.  John 11:33-35

Application

I know how Jesus feels about me and how much He cares about me so I will not be afraid of what happens in the future.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me the compassion that Jesus had for those that loved Him. Help me to feel and help me to be deeply moved and troubled when people around me are going through difficult times. Give me Your heart for people.
