When Jesus finds Mary crying at his tomb, he doesn’t try to cheer her up or change her. He simply asks, “Why are you weeping?” In this moving talk — interspersed with pauses and contemplative music for reflection — author and pastor Trevor Hudson helps us listen to our pain and find Christ in our tears.
