Description

  1. Tears of Empathy

“The Creator of all worlds, the Author of all beings, the Upholder of the universe
– raining tears of human woe and sympathy upon a grave! Oh, there lives not a
being in the universe who can enter into our bereavement with the sympathy,
the support, and the soothing of Christ!” - Octavius Winslow

  1. Tears of Anger

“He burns with rage against the oppressor of men. It is death that is the object
of his wrath, and behind death him who has the power of death, and whom he
had come into the world to destroy. Tears of sympathy may fill his eyes, but ...
his soul is held by rage, and he advances to the tomb as a champion who
prepares for conflict.” – B.B. Warfield

  1. Tears of Love
    “There was no flint in his heart. He was love, and only love; and through his love
    he descended into the depths of grief with the beloved ones whose lot was
    sorrowful; and he carried out to the full that sacred precept, ‘Weep with them
    that weep.’” – C.H. Spurgeon
