John 11:35 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:35

Jesus wept.
] As he was going along to the grave, see ( John 11:28 ) ; as he was meditating upon the state of his friend Lazarus, the distress his two sisters were in, and the greater damnation that would befall the Jews then present, who, notwithstanding the miracle, would not believe in him. This shows him to be truly and really man, subject to like passions, only without sin.

Tension: The Movement Between Trauma & Transformation
Tension: The Movement Between Trauma & Transformation
Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas

In this deeply revelatory episode of First Love, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas build on last week’s exploration of time—one of life’s most misunderstood forces—and step into the sacred space that time creates: tension. This is not the tension we avoid, but the tension God uses.With prophetic clarity, they uncover how tension is the divine movement between trauma and transformation—the stretch between what was and what is becoming. It is the place where God resists premature healing, not to withhold freedom, but to ensure it is complete. Because when trauma is revisited outside of God’s timing, the wound is relived… but when held within His tension, it is redeemed.Through powerful insight, they reveal how our desire for immediate relief can sabotage lasting transformation. The human tendency to rush resolution often leads to reaction instead of renewal—but God works differently. He uses tension to break cycles, retrain desire, and expose what lies beneath the surface, bringing not just answers, but identity-level change.This episode invites you to embrace the holy tension of not knowing, of waiting, of being stretched—because it is in this space that God reframes your story, silences accusation, and replaces shame with truth. Even Jesus Himself stepped into tension, weeping before resurrection, embracing humanity before victory—showing us that transformation requires both surrender and process.If you’ve ever felt caught between pain and promise, this message will awaken you to the purpose of the in-between. Tension is not your breaking point—it is your becoming.Return to your first love, not as one escaping the process, but as one transformed by it—emerging into a mature love that has been stretched, refined, and made whole.

John 11:35 In-Context

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”
