Question

Does Jesus weeping at the grave of Lazarus show that He was not divine?

Answer

A woman said to me here not long ago, said, “Brother Branham,” said, “He was a good man, but He wasn’t Divine. He was just like an ordinary man.” I said, “Oh, yes He was Divine. He was Divine.” Said, “He was a good man, but he wasn’t Divine.” I said, “Yes He was.” “I’ll tell you what.” She said, “Here’s the reason He wasn’t.” Said, “When he went down to the grave of Lazarus, it proved that he wasn’t Divine because he went to crying. And that showed that he was a man. The Bible said, ‘Jesus wept.’” I said, “Look, lady. He might’ve been a man when He was weeping, but when He said, ‘Lazarus, come forth,’ and a man that had…[Blank spot on tape—Ed.]…returned back that had been dead four days…[Blank spot on tape—Ed.] and Christ reconciling the world to Himself. He was more than a man; He was a God-man. He was God in that man. He was personifying Himself here in His Son: God was, Himself, in Him. It’s God, dwelling. Look at Him. He was a man truly when he was crying, He was a man. But when He raised the dead, He was God.
