About this listen
Andrew continued our series on the Beatitudes, focusing on the second one: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Last week, we learned that the word beatitude comes from the Latin word for blessing, and we explored what it means to be “poor in spirit.”
This week, we see that mourning—though painful—is a pathway to blessing. Why? Because mourning allows us to release our pain. Holding onto pain can block us from receiving comfort, but when we mourn, we make space for God’s healing presence to meet us.
Where does this comfort come from?
From the peace of God, which “surpasses understanding” (Philippians 4:7).
From the community of believers, who share our sorrow (Romans 12:15).
From the hope of eternity, where God “will wipe every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4).
And for those who mourn over sin, from the assurance of forgiveness, promised in 1 John 1:9.
In all these ways, God meets us in our mourning—not to leave us in sorrow, but to bring us comfort.To find out more about GodFirst East Rand - Click Here
