Surprising Ways Jesus Meets You; a study of the Beatitudes

Written By Inés Franklin

Grief isn’t weakness; it’s an invitation to draw near to the heart of God.

In this second installment of the Beatitudes Series, Inés Franklin unpacks what it means to mourn in a way that leads to comfort, healing, and deeper spiritual growth. With biblical depth and real-life stories—including her time as a hospital chaplain—Inés shares how mourning can actually shape us into more compassionate, connected people.

This message is for anyone who is currently grieving a loss, confronting brokenness, or walking through sorrow of any kind. It is also for those who wish to support their loved ones in their struggling. Jesus promises comfort, and that promise still holds today.
