The Tears of Jesus

A stern-visaged minister was preaching a sermon on “The Tears of Jesus”. Who exclaimed, “Three times we read that Jesus wept, but we never read that He smiled.” A little girl below the pulpit cried out, forgetful of where she was, “Oh, but I know that He did!” Shocked at the interruption, the minister asked, “Why do say that, my child?” Now thoroughly frightened as she realized all eyes were upon her, she replied, “Because the Bible says He called a little child and he came to Him. And if Jesus had looked like you, I know the child would have been afraid to come.”
