Tears. ( 1 Peter 5 v 7 )

 A tear fell on my cars windscreen , and my cars wipers, wiped it away ,and that tear was no longer there, as I write this, I am conscious that we live in a world, were many tears are falling, for all sorts of different reasons. Everyone one of us will have occasions when we will shed tears, could be that you have been shedding tears at this time. The great prophet Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet CP Jer 3 v 9, King David had his time of weeping ,CP  1 Samuel 30 v 4, no one can expect to escape shedding tears. Even our blessed Saviour shed tears, when a dear friend died ,we read ,' Jesus wept', CP John 11 v 35. He was called a man of sorrows, CP Isaiah 53 v 3. After Jesus died on the cross, and rose again,  He then ascended to heaven, He became our great High Priest, the one who understands fully out tears, as  William Kapp wrote,

                                                   In every pang that rends the heart, 

                                                    The man of sorrows has a part. 

                                                     He sympathizes with our grief,

                                                      And to the sufferer sends relief.

                              Come to Jesus, He will comfort you, and He will dry  your tears.
