Death's Sting: Grief & Mourning

Published: Feb. 1, 2015, 10 a.m.

It’s difficult to grieve and mourn the deaths of loved ones in the midst of a culture that tells us the goal is to “move on” or “get over it.” Thankfully we see in the Scriptures that there is a distinct, hope-filled form of grieving that Christians can enter into because of what Jesus has accomplished on the cross. We do not grieve as those who have no hope, but we engage in living a lifestyle of grieving as we anticipate the day death’s sting is finally vanquished when Christ returns.
