The Beatitudes | Blessed are Those Who Mourn | Pastor Tom Watson
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4 NIV)
1. God appears uniquely to us in pain.
Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36 Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two,f they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated. 38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. 40 God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect. (Hebrews 11:35-40 NIV)
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:12 NIV)
2. Pain does not always mean blame.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:1-4 NIV)
3. God’s answer may not look like yours.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.(Isaiah 55:9 NIV)
Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. (Isaiah 57:1 NLT)
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18 NIV)
My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. (Job 42:5 NIV)
8 We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 NLT)
6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! (2 Corinthians 1:6 NLT)
