Meaning of WEEPING

In the East, pain and mourning were manifested with great ostentation. The Israelites publicly showed their desolation by abstaining from ornaments and by neglecting dress (Ex. 33:4; 2 Sam. 14:2; 19:24; Mt. 6:16-18); As an expression of mourning, they tore their tunic at the neck level, and their clothing and mantles (Lev. 10:6; 2 Sam. 13:31; Jeremiah 2:13).

The Israelites publicly showed their desolation by abstaining from ornaments and by neglecting dress (Ex. 33:4; 2 Sam. 14:2; 19:24; Mt. 6:16-18); As an expression of mourning, they tore their tunic at the neck level, and their clothing and mantles (Lev. 10:6; 2 Sam. 13:31; Jeremiah 2:13).

Weeping is mentioned many times in the Scriptures. The first mention of crying is found,
in the form of a verb, in Gen. 21:16, of Ishmael: "the boy lifted up his voice and wept."
The weeping for Joseph the son of Jacob was very great (Gen. 50:11);

Jeremiah's crying was motivated by the sins of his people and by the judgments that were going to fall on the nation and on Jerusalem (Jer. 9: 1; 13:17; Lam. 1: 2, 16).
The Lord Jesus wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41),

and by the death of Lazarus (John 11:35), thus showing the depth of his feelings.
Weeping is the expression of the deep pain and misery that has entered the world through man's sin, and of the Lord Jesus it is prophetically written that "in all their anguish he was afflicted."

Weeping was also the part of the early Christians (Acts 8:2; 9:39; 20:37; 21:30; Rom. 12:15; 1 Cor. 7:30; 2 Cor. 7:7; 12 :21; Phil. 3:18). After a terrible period of judgments the "inhabitants of the earth" will shed their tears for the destroyed Babylon (Rev. 18:9, 11, 15, 19).

At the coming of the Lord, the wicked will be cast into the outer darkness, where "there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Lk. 13:28), in total solitude in torment, to the exclusion of the presence of the Lord (2 Thes. . 1:9).

On the other hand, for the redeemed, sin and all its consequences being forever eliminated through the work of Christ on the cross, the day will come when “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will be no more death, nor will there be any more crying, nor clamor, nor pain; for the first things passed away” (Rev. 21:4).



Remember that His presence can be experienced. His promise is as true as ever.

The Blessing of the Presence of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon
He is as certainly with us now as He was with the disciples at the lake when they saw coals of fire, fish on the coals, and bread (John 21:9). Not physically, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us!
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

God’s Awesome Love

Charles Stanley
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. With great awe and in complete reverence, the shepherds looked upon the baby Jesus. It was true.
The clear claim of Scripture, and Mary’s own testimony, is that she had never been physically intimate with any man.

The Announcement to Mary

John Macarthur
When we first meet Mary in Luke’s gospel, it is on the occasion when an archangel appeared to her suddenly and without fanfare to disclose to her God’s wonderful plan.
The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
In Christmas, the worlds of secular and spiritual come together.

The Transcendental Importance of Christmas

Philip Yancey
Unlike most people, I do not feel much Dickensian nostalgia at Christmastime. The holiday fell just a few days after my father died early in my childhood, and all my memories of the season are darkened by the shadow of that sadness.
