## Resource

What if sadness isn't something to avoid, but a mark of God's grace at work in your life? This week, Paul and Shelby continue their study of the Beatitudes by exploring why Jesus calls those who mourn "blessed," and how a broken heart over the world's suffering and our own sin leads to the comfort and hope found only in Christ.
