Beatitudes Study, Day 5

Today Ashley DeLaune and April Henry turn our focus to the second half of the beatitude found in Matthew 5:4, “… for they will be comforted.”

Our faith tells us that the union of our suffering with the suffering of Christ is of benefit to those for whom we offer it. Christ turns our suffering into an act of salvation for others. The greater the suffering, the closer Christ is to us.

Comfort leads to hope.

Do I believe this? How has God comforted you in times of mourning? Do you need His comfort today?
