Jesus certainly did not intend for us to bear our grief alone…
He taught us how to have lasting joy and peace, even in the midst of grief
He died and rose from the dead, that our grief even in death might be temporary
He now intercedes as our High Priest, to comfort us in our times of grief
He built His church to be a family, so we can receive comfort in times of grief
For one to enjoy such blessings, it requires faith in Jesus…
Faith in Jesus to believe what He taught
Faith in Jesus to believe what He did
Faith in Jesus to obey what He commanded that we might abide in His love
Faith in Jesus to become an integral part of His “church family”
