You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
The first man [Adam]
sinned and grieved only
for himself, but
the second Man [Jesus]
knew no sin
yet grieved for us
so that we would
not grieve forever.
John 11
Pastor Colin walks us through the book of Lamentations and helps us understand how God counsels us to express our grief to him.
The Book of Lamentations
Trust in him
at all times,
you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Our hearts ache,
but we always have joy.
Blessed are
those who mourn,
for they will
be comforted.
Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
