Unexpected Grief
2 Kings 4:18-37 & Lamentations 2:10-13
Life is more about how we approach it than what happens to us. As believers, there is a Godly way to walk through the hard parts of life. When we experience unexpected grief, God gives us a way through.
Foundational Biblical Truth: God is the creator and giver of life. Death came as the result of sin. (2 Kings 4:18-37)
A Biblical Perspective on Grief: (Lamentations 2:10-13)
- Grief is a Godly response to loss. (John 11:35)
- God enters into our grief. (Psalm 23:4, 56:8)
- Grief is a season that changes. (Psalm 30:5-12)
- Grief points us toward the hope of Christ. (John 11:33-44)
Final Thought: “But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)

When life comes crashing in around you—and all you can do is collapse—you are in the right place to find God.
