In this message, we come to one of the most challenging and curious sayings of Jesus: “Blessed are those who mourn.” On the surface it sounds backwards. How can Jesus call mourning a sign of flourishing, especially when it feels like the exact opposite? Grief and loss are things we normally try to escape, not embrace.
Join us as Ben explores how mourning can actually be evidence that the Gospel is breaking through, and why Jesus sees blessing in a place we’d least expect it.
