Grieving But Comforted – Matthew 5:4
March 3, 2024
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.
Our purpose statement is “We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
This eight-week series examines the most famous ever given, The Sermon on the Mount, by none other than Jesus himself. Jesus’s audience was the outcasts of his day, and they were the first to engage this incredible message and design for living. We will unpack the nine Beatitudes presented by Jesus. It’s a series you don’t want to miss. Today, we unpack Matthew 5:4 and look at the first Beatitude and what it means to “grief and be comforted.”
Questions to ponder:
1. What does it mean to be “grieve.”
2. How would you describe the “good life” or what it means to be “happy?”
3. What does it mean to be comforted?
4. How is it possible to grieve and be comforted?
5. How do we experience the Kingdom of God in the present tense?
