Jesus was sent by God to be the chief persuader. He was on a mission to convince, and in John 11:32-44 he is faced with grief, one of the most traumatic afflictions of faith any human being can experience.

This grieving doubt had an emotional effect on Jesus as Scripture says he was “deeply moved” (John 11:33,38).
