This makes me think of a very loving person, Joseph Schwarze who passed away on December 17th, 2020 - leaving much heartache. "Since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside Thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him" (Isaiah 64:4).
Why was did Jesus say, Blessed are those who mourn? He answered it by saying because they would be comforted. Not any old comforting mind you. This is the comforting of him who is even named the Comforter. Only those who have been brought to their knees in the poverty of their sinful soul and to have experienced the mourning of it, will know the blessing of inheriting the kingdom of heaven and being comforted by the Comforter.
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. Ecc 7:2-4
@Fightingfire1 well i guess you could do both...the bible records of both. Jesus prayed to the Father, but also he said to the diciples "If you ask ME anything in my name, I WILL do it"
I want to ask a question: should I pray to the Father in Jesus' name or directly to Jesus? Please advise and I would appreciate if you could support your answer by the bible. Thanks in advance.
Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name... Matthew 6:9 NASB We pray TO the Father.. and end in Jesus name. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:14 NASB
Thank you

Fightingfire1 John 14:6
King James Bible
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I pray to God in Jesus name and by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the blood shed on the cross.
Amen.

I don't get the part about The whip and killing the people of God. Why should he repent
Sometimes, in a passion to rebuke, we forget about the Love ingredient needed to cause the change.
