God Will Wipe Away Every Tear From Their Eyes

Have you been sad?

Have you been in pain?

Have you been depressed?

Have you suffered because of someone else's sin and folly?

Have you been confronted with a person or deed that offended you so as to bring forth your tears or curses?

Are your tears dried up at your eyes, but are still stored deep down in your heart, ready to be drawn out through the eyes if you're confronted with sadness, pain, depression and suffering due to other's sin, folly and offence?


Jesus himself was sad when he saw his close friend had died.

John 11:35, 36

Jesus himself was in pain when he was flogged, scourged, put on his head a crown of thorns, and nailed to a cross.

John 19:1
John 19:18

Jesus himself was depressed when he was in agony in the garden of Gethsemane

Luke 22:44

Jesus himself suffered the ridicule, criticism and false accusations from people and even betrayal from his close friends.

Matthew 27:29
John 19:3
John 19:15
Matthew 26:74

He wants to identify with you.

He is not a god who is immune to suffering.

He is not a god who sits in heaven above and orders people around telling them what to do and what not to do like a robot.

He actually came down from heaven, and became one of us.

He was born as a baby in a manger.

He grew up as a boy just like any of us has.

He worked as a carpenter, working diligently, sweating, and wiping his sweat in his brows.

So when He says,

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Revelation 21:4

He knows exactly what he says.

He will wipe every tear from your eyes.
