Generally, when we lose someone to death we go through a period of mourning. In Matthew 5:4, Jesus tells us we're blessed if we're in a state of mourning and He tells us we'll be comforted. In our sermon today we'll learn more about the importance of mourning, and the hope that God has given us through His plan of salvation.
