  • Summary

  • Join Dr. John Konicek as we dive further into the second Beatitude where Jesus declares: "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." These words echo the words of the prophet Isaiah in chapter 61. In this passage, Isaiah announces that God has sent him to comfort all who mourn. Each of us must ask ourselves how God is requesting us to do the same. The same spirit of God that was upon Isaiah is upon you. To whom is God asking you to bring God's comfort?
