Psalm 126:5-6. 

God has given us an opportunity for success: the treasure. But this treasure requires tears.

God has given us “treasure” to complete the task: 

• The treasure is the seed (Luke 8:11) .
• The seed is the Word of God (Matt 7:23). 
• The seed is Jesus Christ (John 1:1-2, 14). 

Tears are required. The Christian's life is often tough. 

• Jesus cried in sympathy for his friends (John 11:35) 
• Jesus cried over a lost opportunity (Luke 19:41) 
• Jesus cried over suffering and death (Heb 5:5-11)
