He Shares Our Sorrows and Heals Our Wounds

Weeping Jesus

Isaiah 53:3 (NLT) He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.

Matthew 5:4 (NLT)  God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 (NLT) 13  And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. 14  For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.

Revelation 21:3-4 (NLT) 3  I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 4  He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Thomas Moore (1779-1852) Draper's Book of Quotations for the Christian World
