Jesus wept.....whats your take on why?
 
Hi brothers and sisters. I belive i see a different meaning as to why Jesus wept in the rasing of Lazarus text. Upon reading it a few times and praying about this, i feel we have overlooked something important. Just about everyone I asked says He wept because He was mouring the loss of Lazarus or of compassion for His friends sorrow.
Before stating what I see, I'd like to first see if anyone out there sees what I see. I'm willing to be corrected If im wrong. Above anything else I want to grasp the meaning God intended.

"Jesus shed tears." Perhaps because of the unbelief of the people mentioned in the next verse.

Jesus wept because he was sad. We can only speculate as to why that was.

I don't believe it was His humanity, that wept here. I believe it was the diety that produced the emotion also, definitely because of the lack of belief.

He wept because He knew the internet was coming.
