Today's promise: God will wipe away sorrow forever
Is God concerned about our pain?
The Lord is close to the
brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous face
many troubles, but the Lord rescues them from each and every one.
Psalm
34:18-19 NLT
He was despised and rejected — a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care.
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed! All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the guilt and sins of us all.
Isaiah
53:3-6 NLT
Crying
ones
Through the pain and sorrow of
Christ's experiences on earth, God has experienced the depths of human grief.
You that are called born of God, and
Christians, if you be not criers, there is no spiritual life in you; if you be
born of God, you are crying ones; as soon as He raised you out of the dark
dungeon of sin, you cannot but cry to God.
John
Bunyan
