Question

Does Jesus weeping at the grave of Lazarus show He was only a man?

Answer

Oh, my. That’s it. “I am the Resurrection and Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?” She said, “Yea, Lord. I believe…” Look here. “I believe that You are the Son of God, that You’ve been said to be that was to come into the world. I believe what You said You was. What God has done for You, that’s the truth. I believe every Word of it.” “Where have you buried Him?” Oh, my. Here’s where a woman told me not long ago, when I was…She said, “Jesus wasn’t the…divine.” Said, “He was a good man, a good teacher, so forth, be good for people to live by that. Just like with Santa Claus, stories for the children. But,” said, “he wasn’t divine.” I said, “Oh, yes He was Divine.” Said, “No, he wasn’t.” I said, “He was.” She said, “Look, I can prove it. When He went down to the grave of Lazarus, He cried like a man.” I said, “Yes. I believe He was more than a man. I believe He was a God-man. I believe that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. I believe God lived in His son, dwelled in His Son, and reconciled the world to Himself by His Son.” Do you believe that? I do with all my heart. And He was more than a man. He was God the…God the Son here on earth. Everything the Father had was in Him then. And I believe that He was more than a man, He was a God-man. And when He went down to the—to the grave, He cried like a man. That’s true. But when He stood there, held Himself and said, told them to take away the stone, said, ‘Lazarus, come forth.’ When He raised the dead, He was more than a man. He was God. He was a man when He was crying, but He was God when He raised the dead. That’s right. Yes, sir, He was Divine.
