Jesus taught that those who mourn have been blessed with a new way of being – comfort (relief from their afflictions). So we are to bless others by comforting them (relieving their afflictions).
Matthew 5:4 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Do we ignore Jesus’ teaching to bless others by comforting them (comfort = relieving afflictions)?
See note about what it means to be "Blessed" on Oct 9th post.
“Jesus is Lord” is a radical claim. One in which we pledge our lives to follow him. And yet, most of us ignore the teachings of Jesus. We reimagine him so that he fits neatly into our world instead of letting him change our entire way of being. This blog was a devotional that walked through the gospel of Matthew (and a little into Mark)identifying where we are ignoring Jesus. And inviting him to change us.
