Description

Jesus's Sermon on the Mount continues to connect the idea of the broken spirit to the grieving spirit. Those whom God chastens are those who will experience a Godly grief, a grief that will reveal the Kingdom of Heaven. The Apostle Paul describes the type of mourning that Jesus teaches about: "For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter." [2 Corinthians 7:10-11]
