Get a Free Printable SOAP Bible Study on John 11:32–36
Grief can leave you wondering whether anyone truly understands what still hurts.
This free printable SOAP Bible study will help you slow down with one of the tenderest moments in Scripture and see how Jesus responds to human sorrow. He sees the tears, moves toward the place of loss, and weeps.
What if you did not have to rush past your grief?
Mary comes to Jesus carrying both sorrow and disappointment. She tells Him plainly that she wishes things had happened differently. Jesus does not shame her questions or hurry her toward an explanation. He sees her grief. He is deeply moved. He goes toward the place of loss.
And Jesus weeps.
