I was just reading the Scripture in John where
Jesus brought Lazarus out of the tomb after being
dead for a few days. Before bringing him back
from the bosom of Abraham, Jesus wept.

It occurred to me that Jesus was grieved because
he had to bring Lazarus back here, to this sinful
place, away from the presence of God.

I look at why Jesus was grieved over Lazarus was because was because the House of Isreal was so stubborn to accept Jesus for who He is, so he had to bring Lazarus back to show who He is. When it comes to suffering, look to the Passion of the Christ and know that all suffering if offered for the glory of God will do great good.
