Jesus kept His sorrowful countenance from the view of man. He came to bring Life not Death. Even as death drew near with all its horror, He drew aside to agonise alone.
Any sorrow He displayed was on our behalf. Lazarus died and Jesus wept.
As He drew near to Jerusalem He wept over the city saying if only you had known the time of your visitation. But they did not recognise him.
We despised Him as He was shamed through Crucifixion for our sin.
'He is despised and rejected by men.
A man of sorrows and aquainted with grief
And we hid as it were our faces from him;
He was despised
And we did not esteem Him.'
Isaiah 53
