About this listen

What kind of mourning does Jesus call a blessing? In this episode, Pastor John DeVries shows how mourning flows naturally from being poor in spirit and plays a vital role in the growth of every disciple. This is not sorrow rooted in circumstances, but a gospel-shaped mourning over the effects of sin—on ourselves, on others, and on God. Far from diminishing joy, this kind of mourning guards us from returning to sin, cultivates compassion for sinners, and deepens our happiness in the forgiveness promised to us in Christ and the coming kingdom.
