About this sermon
1. Grief is not a sin. (Jesus wept, John 11.) 2. Grief is a good work. (it is the shape that loves takes for those who are absent.) 3. Grief comes in waves. (not stages. everyone grieves differently. grief is not a sickness that we seek to heal from.) 4. Some of the different shapes of grief are: * loneliness * sadness * sorrow * regret Especially regarding regret, we need to hear the promise of the gospel and be covered with the blood of Jesus. 5. grief and our other vocations, we need to be on the lookout to make sure that our grief for those we've lost does not stand in the way of our love for those who are still living. We consider the example of David in two ways, from 2nd Samuel 19, and 12. Grief, when mixed with the Lord's Word, is used by the Holy Spirit to strengthen our faith and bring us to eternal life.
