How do you respond to the events of this past week in Manchester?
On two particular occasions in the Gospels we find Jesus face to face with human suffering. In John’s Gospel Jesus is standing at the grave of a friend – a place of personal suffering. Then in Luke we read of Him approaching Jerusalem – overlooking an entire city that had suffered much in so many ways.
What do you say at such moments? What do you do? How do you react?
On both occasions the Bible simply tells us this: ‘Jesus wept’. Words were not enough.
