Go! And Be Comforted And Filled - Matthew 5:4,6 Series
Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 30, 2025 (message contributor)
Summary: Jesus begins His public teaching ministry not in a temple, but on a hillside. The crowds gather. The disciples sit close. And the Lord opens His mouth to speak words that turn the world upside down.
Because Jesus satisfied the justice of God by dying in our place.
Because Jesus rose again, offering forgiveness, comfort, and eternal satisfaction.
Romans 3:22–24 (NLT): “We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ… yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight.”
This is the heart of the Gospel. You cannot comfort yourself. You cannot satisfy your soul with your own efforts. But Christ can. Christ has. Christ will.
Call to Action
To the Believer:
Are you mourning over sin—or minimising it?
Are you hungering for righteousness—or feasting on spiritual junk food?
Return to the foot of the cross. Seek the Word. Stay close to the Saviour.
To the Seeker:
You may be feeling a deep emptiness—a hunger, a sorrow, an ache in your soul. That is not random. That is God calling you to Himself.
Today is the day of salvation.
Repent. Believe in Jesus Christ—His death for your sin, His resurrection for your life. And you will be comforted. You will be filled.
Invitation to Salvation:
If you want to begin a relationship with Jesus today, pray with me:
Lord Jesus, I mourn over my sin. I need Your forgiveness. I believe You died for me, and that You rose again. I hunger for Your righteousness. Fill me, comfort me, save me. I trust in You alone as my Lord and Saviour. Amen.
If you prayed that sincerely, tell someone today. Come speak with us. This is just the beginning of a life that is filled and fulfilled in Christ.
Benediction:
As you go into this week,
May you mourn over sin and find the deep comfort of forgiveness.
May you hunger and thirst for righteousness and be fully satisfied in Jesus Christ.
May the Word of God guide you,
The Spirit of God strengthen you,
And the Son of God bless you with His peace.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
