Siler turns the congregation’s attention to the book of Luke (11:21-12:45). Siler speaks of being a bystander in the world (12:46-14:25). He then speaks of the bystanders who saw Jesus on the road to Golgotha and discusses how he may have reacted as a bystander (14:26-16:45). He argues that Jesus tells the bystanders not to weep for Him (16:46-18:50). He relates the weeping of the people at the crucifixion to the weeping in America for racism, homosexuality, and what he believes is sexism in the church (18:51-29:51). The service concludes with a charge for the congregation (29:52-30:21).

Boswell speaks about a sign reading “Jesus wept” and his church congregation’s toleration of it for the sake of not being offensive to the man who put it there (13:57-15:25). Boswell has decided to discern the meaning of the words “Jesus wept,” which he says is a human and a divine response to the death of Lazarus (15:26-18:27). He speaks of the kinship between anger and grief, both personally and of Jesus (18:28-21:20). Boswell speaks of his concern about “religious inhumanism” and of his personal experience with loving compassion (21:21-29:00). Boswell charges the congregation to remember who they are regarding God (29:01-29:58).
