Grieving for Grace’s Sake

June 22, 2021

Grant Partrick teaching from Matthew 5:4-5 on our tour and our study of the Beatitudes.

Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.

1Do not fret because of those who are evil

or be envious of those who do wrong;

2for like the grass they will soon wither,

like green plants they will soon die away.

3Trust in the

Lord

and do good;

dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4Take delight in the

Lord

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5Commit your way to the

Lord

;

trust in him and he will do this:

6He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,

your vindication like the noonday sun.

7Be still before the

Lord

and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,

when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;

do not fret—it leads only to evil.

9For those who are evil will be destroyed,

but those who hope in the

Lord

will inherit the land.

10A little while, and the wicked will be no more;

though you look for them, they will not be found.

11But the meek will inherit the land

and enjoy peace and prosperity.

32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
