Beautiful Attitudes | The Sorrow That Leads to Joy - Season 4, Episode 110

Why does Jesus promise happiness to those who mourn? We instinctively avoid sorrow, often ignoring or excusing our sin rather than facing the grief it causes. Pastor Dorrell examines Matthew 5:4 to argue that the “mourning” Jesus blesses is not general sadness, but a specific and necessary grief over our personal sin. Building on the foundation of being “poor in spirit,” he demonstrates that this honest grief is the essential prerequisite for receiving the profound comfort of the Holy Spirit. This message challenges the listener to courageously confront their own sin, to grieve it honestly, and to thereby discover the unparalleled joy and comfort that God promises to the mournful.
