Mourning Will Be Turned To Joy


The second Beatitude found in Matthew 5:4 teaches us of comfort. There are several sayings that I have heard. "Joy comes in the morning."
"Tomorrow is another day." The Bible teaches:


In Christ Jesus, His Word teaches us in 1st Corinthians 10:13, "He (Christ) will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. When you are, He will provide a way out so you can endure it."



Mourning just doesn't have to do with yourself, but it is to be shared. When others mourn, we are to share with them to uphold them before the LORD and others to comfort them as Christ comforts us. It always is a comfort to have loved ones comfort us when we are sad and hurting from life's sorrows.   AND...



Joy does return, especially when you know Jesus Christ as your Savior. He is present with you through the Holy Spirit who comforts.

Acts 1:8, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you."



GOD's joy in us far out weighs any sorrow this life can bring. We know in our hearts He has an eternal existence for us with Him that our minds now cannot comprehend! No more sorrow, pain, mourning.

Revelation 21:4, "He (Christ) will wipe away every tear from our eyes. There will be no more death or MOURNING or crying or pain for the old order of things has passed away!"
