Good Morning,
The aroma coming from the kitchen filled the house with the sweet smell of Door County Churro Coffee. I am in the right place at the right time.
Tonight I will be speaking in church and my message will be coming from the Sermon On The Mount or what is known as the Beatitudes.
Matthew 5:4 NIV Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
One could immediately go with the fact that we will all mourn the loss of someone during our lifetime and that our God will comfort us during our time of grieving. This as a true thought.
I believe that this passage is for those who mourn not having a Savior in their life and they grieve for their sins. The sum of any amount of sins causes them gut wrenching despair and they mourn for the spiritual state they are in.
God is faithful to keep His promises and when we seek Him out to forgive us through faith in Jesus Christ we are comforted knowing that we are forgiven.
1 John 1:19 ESV If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Acts 10:42 ESV To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in Him, receives forgiveness of sins through His name.
It is a very simple thought for today, knowing that when we grieve over our sin, we can be forgiven and we are comforted by that forgiveness.
Have a great day!
Marty
