Last week, we touched on the first Beatitude and came to the conclusion that to be "poor in spirit" means to simply recognize that we don't have what it takes within ourselves to please God. We all make mistakes, live unperfect lives, and need to depend on God for everything. He is the source of all our eyes can see, including our very own lives. And He is the source of salvation, giving us a second chance to being in relationship with Him through Jesus. Being "poor in spirit" simply means to remember that we must constantly depend on God!
Tonight we'll be looking into the second Beatitude Jesus teaches:
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
(Matthew 5:4)
Some questions to consider:
(1) What does it mean to "mourn" and what does that look like in everyday life?
(2) What are they mourning about, anyway?
(3) What should my attitude be as a result?
Wednesday Night Live! meets on Wednesday nights at 6:30PM in the Youth Room. See you there!
