In today’s Gospel, according to Mark, who doesn’t waste words, Jesus proclaimed, “Repent, and believe in the good news!” He didn’t say, “You can repent, but it won’t do you a bit of good. Losers.”
It is in our tears that our fellowship with our Father grows deep. It is in our tears truth is found, the truth of the sadness our sins have brought to us, and to others, the terrible results our sins wrought. Also, in our tears grows an appreciation of the sacrifice Jesus did to pay the price of our sins.
Sometimes we must go through the valley in order to get to the mountain top.
Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
