Breaking God's Heart

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

How would you feel if someone you loved so much you would die for just turned their back on you and walked away? Would you chase after them? Would you beg them to come back? Would you yell at them? What would you do?

Jesus looked on Jerusalem and his heart was broken because they could not or would not see how much God loved them. When Jesus wept at the grave of Lazarus the Jews thought his tears were because a friend had died. They thought His heart was broken. In truth Jesus was crying for the Jews because of their unbelief. Crying for their lack of faith and crying because they did not see what God was tying to do. Jesus shed tears many times in His earthly ministry. Many times it was due to something man either was or wasn’t doing. On the night Judas betrayed Him Jesus wept for all mankind. He shed tears as he asks three times if there was another way to get God’s greatest creation to return to God. Those and many more times Jesus prayed with tears in his eyes because His heart was hurting for those He loved.
All those tears will not hurt God as much as those He will cry when He has to turn those He loved and died for away because they rejected His offer of salvation. Imagine if you will how God’s heart will be broken when at the Great White Throne Judgment He has to say “Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire.” Rev 20:11-15
What will be going through His mind as He thinks of the millions for whom He died on the cross who failed to accept His offer of freedom and life and have instead chosen death and hell?

When He thinks about the Christians who didn’t love Him enough to tell anyone about Him, or have faith enough to believe He would do what He said he would do? It would be nice if Jesus didn’t have to weep again but He will.

When those who have never accepted Him as personal savior stand before Him He will weep as He is forced to judge them and sentence them to an eternity in hell. As He cast them into the lake of fire He will weep bitter tears.
As those He loves have no rewards due to little faith and no fruits stand before Him he will weep because they didn’t care enough to share His love with those He has just cast into the fire.

Who will God’s heart break for the most the lost or the ones who just don’t care? Either way He will weep as he has done and continues to do.
