Jesus, the Man of Sorrows
Jesus suffered, and he is called a “man of sorrows.” What a comfort it is to know that the Lord himself understands what it means to feel sadness and pain, and that He is with us in our sorrow.
Guest (Male): Open the Bible with Colin Smith.
Colin Smith: A suffering world needs a suffering savior, but we also need a savior who has triumphed over suffering. And suffering was not the end for Jesus; he came through it and he triumphed over it in his resurrection. And this savior offers himself to you. Weeping may tarry for a night, but joy comes in the morning. And one day, God will wipe away all tears from your eyes.
So when you pass through the valley of sorrow and loss, you’re in a place where Jesus Christ can be found. Your savior knows what it is to walk sorrow’s path, and he’s well acquainted with grief. Any path on which you come closer to Jesus will be blessed, even if it’s a path you would never have chosen to walk.
