With Jesus, troubles and sorrows, problems and worries, heartbreak and mourning are gathered up like left-over crumbs from a feast marking the celebration of victory over the enemy's forces.

Our certainty is of Christ, that mighty hero who overcame the Law, sin, death, and all evils.

If you truly love the brethren, you will not grudge to help them in their distress.
