I believe that Jesus was sadden from His friends passing. Even though He was going to raise him from the dead a few minutes later at that point Lazarus was no longer with Him at that moment in time.

yes quite the occurrence, because indeed he knew he would raise him from the dead but, at the same time it reminds that a person dieing is something to mourn and be saddened by, if Jesus felt nothing it would be as if Lazarus's life didn't matter or that Jesus was using his reviving for merely a show of display for people.

You must keep in mind that the Lord Jesus is the living Word of God. The Bible is the written word. If you want God's perfect revelation, it is not the Bible, it is the Lord Jesus. However, by worshiping Christ you remain calm throughout the day, and you are relieved of stress. The Bible is the bridge that connects us to the Almighty. You pick up the Bible to read God's words. The Bible is a book full of knowledge, good intentions, and very thoughts: a book that will lead you on the right path and help you find the purpose of life and existence.

With such thoughts, you can read the thoughts of Lord Jesus every day through an online bible verse generator tool that will help you to find calm and happiness.

Probably my first intrigues involved the Book of Jonah, as a kid i was curious about a lot in it, in particular how a person tried to run from God, and even more surprising a person who served God😱.
It's also a very short book of the Bible, with a man inside a whale for 3 days, and it's ending leaves one with lots of questions!
 
I remember trying to reconcile Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (the bride price of 50 shekels of silver) with 1 Samuel 18 (when David pays king Saul 200 foreskins to marry Michal). I couldn't figure out how they could be worth anything, let alone enough to purchase a princess. Then I started to wonder if the Israelites used them as money (did 200 foreskins = 50 shekels of silver...)

Prophectic wording and events. ......Fascinating .
It involves so much more than just reading the scriptures. It brings you into to customs, language, pagan practice, and so much more.
God's appointed times are so involved and precise it stirs my faith to boldness.
I have said it and I will do it says the Lord.

For me it was meeting Christ. I was separated from my mother when I was a baby, then we met each other when I was six. She told me everything I was taught was wrong, and I had to completely change.

Then I met Christ, who loved me as I was.
