What is the meaning of all these

What is the meaning of all these
=====================

Psst.. Why are you fretting Jonah?
You feel sorry about the plant, though you did nothing to put it there. It came quickly and died quickly.

Psst... Mary why are you weeping?
Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”

Psst... Where are you going?
Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead. ”

What is the meaning of all these?
The trial and suffering of life?
Why are all these happening?

Come! Jesus said come!

Why hold on to your pride?
In light of eternity what is pride that it should stop you from coming?

What is pride that it should cost you dearly? Even your very soul?

Come! Jesus said come!
Why fret and be distressed over the woe of this life?

Stop! Stop running here and there!
Stop and listen!

Jesus beckon you to come!
Come! He said Come!
For His yoke is easy and His burden is light. (Matthew 11:30)

Come! Jesus said come!

Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30)

Psst.. What are you doing?

Jonah 4:5-10 NLT
Then Jonah went out to the east side of the city and made a shelter to sit under as he waited to see what would happen to the city. And the lord God arranged for a leafy plant to grow there, and soon it spread its broad leaves over Jonah’s head, shading him from the sun. This eased his discomfort, and Jonah was very grateful for the plant. But God also arranged for a worm! The next morning at dawn the worm ate through the stem of the plant so that it withered away. And as the sun grew hot, God arranged for a scorching east wind to blow on Jonah. The sun beat down on his head until he grew faint and wished to die. “Death is certainly better than living like this!” he exclaimed. Then God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry because the plant died?” “Yes,” Jonah retorted, “even angry enough to die!” Then the lord said, “You feel sorry about the plant, though you did nothing to put it there. It came quickly and died quickly.

John 11:14-15, 32-35, 40 NLT
So he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”
When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled.
“Where have you put him?” he asked them. They told him, “Lord, come and see.” Then Jesus wept.
Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”

Matthew 8:21-22 NLT
Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead. ”
