Sincerity

3 Nephi 17:21-23

"And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them.
And when he had done this he wept again;
And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones."

The footnote for 'wept' says to look in the Topical Guide unto 'sincerity.'  Christ wept because he sincerely loved the children. He knew they were God's children, and he knew they were pure and innocent. He took the time to bless each child. How wonderful! As a mom, I know this would make me cry, because I know the Savior loves my children.
