DAY – 32
GOD OUR COMFORTER
" Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. "
(Matt 5:4)
Greetings to all who are encouraged by God's word and read it regularly. I hope that God has spoken to each of us through these passages constantly, teaching and strengthening us on a variety of issues. I am certain that you, dear children of Our God Jesus Christ, have been admiring Him and His nature through these words on a daily. Through these messages, God has graciously taught and revealed to us from an Almighty God to our dearest friend. Today we will see Our God Jesus in another dimension; He is the God who is the source of all comfort.
We are all aware that life is not always easy. And there is nothing permanent in this world. We are surrounded by happiness and tears, success and failure, profits and losses, births and deaths from dawn to dusk. Our Heavenly Father is with us in all of this, sustaining and stabilizing our hearts and minds as we move forward. (Isaiah 63:9) says, "In all their distress, He was also distressed." This is one of the most cherished verses that has kept me going through my most difficult times. Can you ever imagine that the Sovereign Lord, in all His glory and splendor, who sits on His throne and rules majestically, bringing justice to the people of the earth, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is afflicted in all their (His Children's) affliction? That is the supremacy of the God we serve. He is not a high priest who is unable to understand our frailties. (Hebrew 4:15) He is the God who can feel even the most private emotions that we try to hide or are unable to express to others.
When Jesus Christ was on the earth, Matthew recorded His very first sermon, which is known as the Beatitudes. As His disciples approached Him on the mountain, He said, "Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted." These priceless promises were given to those who followed Him, not to everyone.
For different people, the effects of mourning and bereavement are different. Mourning can be viewed as a stage in the process of adjusting to the loss. The death or loss of a close friend or family member. When the person we have dearly loved, for whom we have been dearest, leaves the world, our world is shattered, and all our hopes are dashed. The Bible says in (Ecc 12:7), "And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." Everyone who has ever been born will die at some point in their lives. This is for you if you have lost loved ones.
God wishes to fill the void left by the loss of our favorite people by sending His love and comfort to those who are in mourning. Many people in the Bible were in anguish, weeping, and mourning for their loved ones, and God comforted them all.
There came Joseph's brothers to their father Jacob, with the bloodstained multi-colored jacket of Joseph convincing their father that Joseph died. Jacob mourned for Joseph for a long time, and to show his sorrow, he tore his clothes and wore a sackcloth. Jacob's children all came to console him, but he refused to be consoled. "No," he said, "I'm going to my son's grave to mourn." As a result, Jacob continued to weep. (Gen 37) Joseph, who lost his mother when he was a child, was always spoiled by his father. His father adored him more than his other brothers combined. When Jacob learned that Joseph had died, the agony of bereavement pierced every pore of his being.
Nobody was able to console Jacob. God's eyes saw Jacob right amid his devastation. God saw Jacob's despair, vulnerability, and anguish. God, on the other hand, blessed and built Joseph's life into a great blessing. A day came in Jacob's life when he learned that his beloved son Joseph was still alive. Yes, Jacob's spirit was revived when he learned Joseph was alive. As the ruler of Egypt, Jacob met his son Joseph. God bestowed boundless joy on Jacob, who was able to see not only Joseph but also his sons before death. That is God's love and faithfulness to us.
When Lazarus died, Jesus wept alongside Martha and Mary. He suffered with them in their anguish, He wept with them in their anguish, and He comforted and restored their lives by raising Lazarus from the dead. "He will not break a bruised reed, nor will he extinguish a smoldering wick." (Exodus 42:3)
Don't give up hope, We will meet our loved ones in the air on the day of Jesus Christ's return. " For the Lord, himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the sound of God's trumpet, and the dead in Christ will rise first." After that, we who are still alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds with them to meet the Lord in the air. As a result, we will spend eternity with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17) "He will wipe every tear from their eyes" in Christ's Kingdom.
Because the old order of things has passed away, there will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain." (Revelation 21:4) Until then, we must run the race with endurance on this earth until we arrive at our eternal home.
In Jesus Christ, may God comfort your hearts, heal your wounds, and bring you peace and joy. Amen!!
