The sorrow, weeping, and lamenting of the disciples as a result of the death of Christ was for a little while and then they were made to rejoice with great joy in what Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension meant and accomplished. They rejoiced and had great joy in seeing Him after His resurrection and in His ascension as it demonstrated His victory, His authority, and validated all He had said and who He is. They would also see Him and as the Spirit of Christ would indwell them via the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and reveal Christ to them. The suffering, sorrow, and weeping we have in this world may not seem for a "little while" but in comparison to eternity it is a mist. Let the words of Christ bring true joy and comfort to us as we walk through this life filled with suffering and sorrows knowing this is only for a little while. All the lamenting and weeping we have in this world will one day cease as He will wipe away every tear from our eyes (Rev 21:1-4) and in His presence there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). We have never seen Him, but one day we will see Him as He is (Matthew 5:8) and that will happen in just a little while!
