Hope During Grief

Grief is a prolonged life-shaking sorrow after a loss. Sometimes grief is as evident as a tear. It is often camouflaged under surface conversation, constant activity, and phony smiles. But it is there even though it's often unseen.

When C. S. Lewis's wife died, He wrote, “Her absence, like the sky—is spread over everything.” In John 11, there's a thrilling account of how Jesus Christ brought comfort and hope to the two sisters who were mourning the loss of their brother. This Bible story focuses on the grief of the loss of a loved one, and yet the principles apply to all kinds of grief. So, let's study this climactic miracle together and rediscover the hope that Mary and Martha experienced that day.

Now for a little while, you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
