A note about tears.

There is, in the Bible in Revelation 21, an image of tears being wiped away. And no more tears or death or mourning or crying or pain. It’s a fixture in funerals, it’s a last reading.

I hear it, from time to time, used as a reason to stop feeling bad. “Because of that then, you should feel better now.”

What if the one who wipes tears away is one who also cried tears?

imagine Jesus on a hill, looking over Jerusalem and weeping.

Imagine Jesus walking near a town and seeing a funeral...
