Riverside Community Church of God

Mary also meets Jesus with an angry rebuke. A humble rebuke, she's at his feet, but a grief stricken statement nonetheless. If you had been here, have you ever had that cry in your heart? God, where were you? Mary just says it aloud, and Jesus grieves with her. Our savior cries. He weeps. This is a painful scene, but it is one that speaks to the intimacy of our God. He is not impersonal. He is a compassionate companion. We do not grieve alone when we have Jesus.
