Does Jesus Care?

I am on my way this morning to speak at a funeral. I have done many funerals and they never become easy. The hurt, the pain and the tears. I will be sharing with the family about Jesus and the family of Lazarus in John 11. Can I share a few of these thoughts with you?

  • Jesus purposely delayed His coming to the family, this was by design He had not forgotten them.
  • The response of Jesus to the two sisters is amazing.
  • To Martha, He gives a solid hope based on who He was and what He would do.
    11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

  • To Mary, He so identifies with her pain that He groans and cries.

    11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 11:35 Jesus wept.
  • In both cases Jesus does not rebuke these sisters for doubting Him but instead He loves them and shows them His grace.
Jesus loves you and He keeps on loving you even when your faith grows weak. He hasn't forgotten you and He will be there right on time.

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth or song,
As the burdens press, and the cares distress
And the way grows weary and long?

 

Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades,
Does He care enough to be near?

 

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong;
When for my deep grief there is no relief,
Though my tears flow all the night long?

 

Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye”
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

Chorus 
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.
