John 11:35
Jesus Wept
35 Jesus wept.
Mark 11:15-17
Jesus at the Temple
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Matthew 14:22-24
Jesus Prays on a Mountainside
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
God sent Jesus to come and dwell on the earth with us...Jesus was human and had human qualities as He walked among us...Humans show different emotions and feelings...Pathos is a quality that evokes pity or sadness...Mirth is defined as amusement, especially defined in laughter...He sometimes appears as a Solitary Man...And as I read the gospels a serious man...He would have these different feelings and traits being human...Jesus was human, yet a tremendous and most unique figure throughout the gospels...A life of love, sincerity, forgiveness, truth, and grace...He was a Man full of the Holy Spirit, and a Man full of faith...
Jesus was a Great Teacher...And He went about His ministry days helping and teaching people...Jesus is the example for the Way a human life is to be lived...
One time He showed sad feelings...Jesus wept...He wept when Lazarus died, and He was talking to Mary right after her brother's death...
Jesus got angry...He was angered when He entered the temple courts were they had set up tables to sell sacrificial items...When Jesus entered the temple courts and seen those buying and selling there, He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves...“It is written,” He said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”...
In the gospels, we do not read much about Him laughing...G. K. Chesterton wrote in his book Orthodoxy, “And as I close this chaotic volume I open again the strange small book from which all Christianity came; and I am again haunted by a kind of confirmation...The tremendous figure which fills the Gospels towers in this respect, as in every other, above all the thinkers who ever thought themselves tall...His pathos was natural, almost casual...The Stoics, ancient and modern, were proud of concealing their tears...He never concealed His tears; He showed them plainly on His open face at any daily sight, such as the far sight of His native city...Yet He concealed something...Solemn supermen and imperial diplomatists are proud of restraining their anger...He never restrained His anger...He flung furniture down the front steps of the Temple, and asked men how they expected to escape the damnation of Hell...Yet He restrained something...I say it with reverence; there was in that shattering personality a thread that must be called shyness...There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray...There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation...There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.”...
