Jesus Smiles

One of the shortest scriptures in the New Testament is John 11:35, Jesus wept. This was upon learning of the death of his friend Lazarus, whom he then raised from the dead.

I think our Savior often smiled and even laughed, although I have only found one reference to it.

And when Jesus had spoken these words he came again unto his disciples: and behold they did pray steadfastly, without ceasing, unto him; and he did smile upon them again; and behold they were white even as Jesus. 3Nephi 19:30, see also verse 25

What do you think? Someday I hope to kneel at the feet of the One who smiles on high.
