    I have often wondered why Jesus wept and groaned. Seems there was no reason to do so if he knew he would bring Lazarus back to life. I have often speculated that; it was at this pivotal point in his Ministry that he became cognizant that the cross was in the imminent future. It would just be a matter of days to finish up his earthly ministry and impart final words of encouragement to his disciples.
