Finding God’s Comfort in Grief - Pastor Naeem Fazal

When things go wrong, can you admit that you blame God? If it’s his job to fix things and keep bad things from happening, he’s due for a performance review. But what if the God we serve exists to do more than give us what we desire and need? What if the God of Christianity desires to be close in our losses?

Sadness, crying and grief are not signs of weakness. They’re characteristics we see in Jesus Christ and healthy parts of mourning. It’s only when we allow ourselves to be weak and feel our feelings that we can experience the divine comfort of God - and learn what it means to provide it to others.

 

This message on week 2 of “God Bless You” covers “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5.
