God comes into our
lives calling us into the kingdom and mourning is a sign of it! I think what
stood out to me most in this message was the coexistence of grief and joy that
DJ emphasized. When we meet Jesus in all his fullness we are faced with the grief
of the reality of sin, BUT there is also the joy of knowing Jesus. We see in
the gospel that Jesus was eternally joyful, and yet sorrowful over sin. The
more we see what the kingdom of God is about, the more we realize the world
does not have to be this way. I am encouraged that we can mourn for sin while still embracing the joy that comes from living in the kingdom.

- The kingdom has come, the kingdom is coming, and nothing will stand in its way!
- Everlasting joy will be the everlasting condition!
- This command blesses those who are vulnerable before life and embrace the pain
