1990 Blessed are Those Who Mourn, The Beatitudes, by Dr. Jim Dixon

Dr. Jim Dixon explores the second beatitude, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." He explains that mourning has three aspects: a penitent heart, vexation at the world's sin, and grief over loss. True mourning leads to repentance, a desire for positive change, and comfort from God. Dr. Dixon emphasizes finding solace in Christ's resurrection, the Holy Spirit, and the Christian community during times of grief.  Enjoy it and be blessed!
