Grief has many faces. Some grief is loud—like the cries of the women who wept openly as Jesus passed. Other grief is quiet—an ache carried in silence, unseen by others.
The Daughters of Jerusalem did not look away from Jesus' suffering. They let themselves feel the weight of His pain. But Jesus, instead of receiving their sorrow, turned it back on them: "Do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children." (Luke 23:28)
He was pointing to a deeper grief—the sorrow of a world wounded by sin, of hearts that turn from God, of suffering that extends far beyond that moment on the road to Calvary.
What do we do with grief? Do we only mourn what we see in front of us, or do we allow it to open our eyes to the brokenness within and around us? Jesus invites us not just to feel sorrow but to let it transform us. To let grief become a call to prayer, to love, to action.
