A dirge of superhuman anguish',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

"Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered
up prayers and supplications with strong crying and
tears." Hebrews 5:7

There are three distinct pictures given us of the tears 
of Jesus.

We see Him weeping in the family, with the sisters of 
Bethany. We see Him weeping on the mount of Olivet 
over a ruined city. We see Him, last of all, weeping in 
the moonlit shades of Gethsemane—but now it is 
"strong crying and tears"—a dirge of superhuman 
anguish, not over families or cites, but over mankind!
