For Those Who Mourn

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Scripture reading:
1 Corinthians 15:51–57;
1 Thessalonians 4:13–18

People have the wrong idea about mourning. In some cultures they have a day set apart to take wreaths to graves.“Why would you spending time around the graves? The answer is the people you love are not there. Taking of flowers to the graves is not bad, but that is not faith. Those who died in Christ are gone to be with Him, ‘which,’ Paul said, ‘is far better’ (Phil. 1:23).”
If you go mourning the loss of loved ones who have gone to be with Christ I say this to you out of love you have never had the revelation of what Paul spoke of when he showed us that it is better to go than to stay.
The mourning that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 5 is a mourning in the Spirit. God will bring you to a place where things must be changed, and there is a mourning, an unutterable groaning until God comes. Jesus  mourned over Jerusalem. He saw the conditions; He saw the unbelief; He saw the end of those who closed their ears to the Gospel. But God gave a promise that He would see “the labor of His soul, and be satisfied” (Isa. 53:11) and that He would “see His seed.” Amen
