Blessed ( Matthew 19 v 41 )

'Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted',It is John Stott who says that these words could almost be translated,'Happy are the unhappy'.We often would apply these words to those who have been bereaved,but in actual fact it is do with our attitude to sin.A neighbour told me how when in a local supermarket on her own, a man came and whispered unpleasant things to her,she was so afraid she immediately left the supermarket and went home. As I hear things like that it makes me so sad,and it causes to mourn, make no mistake, we live in a fallen world. Instead of judging we should be weeping and praying,and witnessing ,that people would repent and seek forgiveness, and trust Jesus as their Saviour. J.S writes'The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them'.
