What if the path to comfort doesn’t begin with strength… but with sorrow? In a world obsessed with image, success, and positivity, Jesus offers something radical: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4) In this message, Pastor Mike Rue explores the second Beatitude and reveals how true human flourishing begins not in hiding our grief, but in honestly facing it—especially the sorrow over our sin. This isn’t about surface-level sadness. Jesus speaks of a soul-deep mourning—the kind that breaks us over the brokenness within and around us. But He doesn’t leave us there. He meets us in our grief with His mercy, forgiveness, and presence. Through powerful biblical insight, real-life stories, and gospel hope, this sermon will invite you to: Mourn over personal sin with genuine sorrow Grieve the brokenness in others and in the world Discover the comfort only Jesus can give Learn how spiritual grief becomes the soil where joy and flourishing grow If you’re weary, burdened, or spiritually numb… this message is for you. You don’t have to hide your grief—bring it to Jesus. Because in Him, those who mourn are not cast aside… they are comforted. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:4 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Mike Rue 📍 Emmanuel Baptist Church | Mora, MN 👇 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected with weekly sermons that point you to Jesus. #Beatitudes #SermonOnTheMount #Matthew5 #ChristianSermon #GriefAndGrace #JesusComforts #MourningAndHope #ItIsWellWithMySoul
