Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
Last week we looked at Matthew 5:3, which is part of a segment of scripture often called The Beatitudes. Let's continue looking at the Beatitudes!--it will probably take us a few weeks, but it will be well worth our while.
A few weeks ago, we saw in Isaiah 53:3, that Jesus was "A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. "Revelation 21:4 tells us that God will wipe away every tear from [our] eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying." Know that in the midst of your sorrows, you Will be comforted.
God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:
There were two good ol' boys from the South, who love to fish, and they wanted to do some ice fishing. They'd heard about it up in Canada, so they took off up there. The lake was frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got to the lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle. One of them said, "We're gonna need an ice pick." So they got that, and they took off.
In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're gonna need another dozen ice picks."
Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left. In about an hour, he was back. Said, "We're gonna need all the ice picks you've got."
The bait man couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"
"Not very well at all," he said. "We ain't even got the boat in the water yet."
