WHAT DID JESUS TELL US TO DO?

In 1937 Charles M. Sheldon wrote his classic In His Steps and challenged us to lives our lives asking "What Would Jesus Do?" In this study we will read the NIV Gospels in order to determine what JESUS TOLD US TO DO. Hopefully that will help answer the question. Our scope will not include what He told the Disciples or individuals to do. We will be followers on the Hillside, listening to his messages to US...I have no qualifications to lead this study and invite comment as the Spirit moves you.

3. JESUS TELLS US: BE SYMPATHETIC


Matt. 5:4



"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
In the second Beatitude, Our Lord is telling us that the Right Path will lead to contentment for those who truly believe; that we must be compassionate and empathetic towards others; that we should accept our own personal sorrows and learn and grow and gain strength from them, and not to dispair.
