No...I can't imagine this was a good day for Jesus. Not that I think he might have mourned as we tend to mourn - even if we believe that because of Jesus' sacrifice and their faith we will see the deceased again - I don't know if Jesus mourned at all over John's death. except - we do know Jesus was not only 100% God but also 100% human - so emotions of not seeing John again on this earth might have weighed on Jesus some.<BR/><BR/>I imagine that this day and the news about John would remind Jesus of His ultimate fate. This was a shadow of things to come for Him.<BR/><BR/>Standing up for the truth cost John his life.<BR/>Jesus knew He too would stand up for truth <BR/>- as well, he knew what it would cost him.<BR/><BR/>And yet, while he wanted solitude - and sought a lonely place, the crowds followed - and Jesus - the Teacher - didn't ignor their needs. Tired, emotional, possibly considering his own future, Jesus sees the crowd, has compassion on them, and heals their sick.
