This document discusses how mourning often comes before joy. It notes that while weeping may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning. Several biblical passages are referenced that discuss mourning turning to joy or dancing. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is highlighted as bringing joy after his followers' mourning. The document encourages that for those mourning today due to sin, loss, or life's burdens, God can bring the morning's joy and that with him, every tear will one day be wiped away.

but joy comes in the morning.

12. Matthew 28:1-8
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day
of the week began to dawn, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary came to
see the tomb. And behold, there was a
great earthquake; for an angel of the
Lord descended from heaven, and came

13. Matthew 28:1-8
and rolled back the stone from the door,
and sat on it. His countenance was like
lightning, and his clothing as white as
snow. And the guards shook for fear of
him, and became like dead men.
But the angel answered and said to the

14. Matthew 28:1-8
women, “Do not be afraid, for I know
that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly and tell His disciples that
He is risen from the dead, and indeed He

15. Matthew 28:1-8
is going before you into Galilee; there
you will see Him. Behold, I have told
you.”
So they went out quickly from the tomb
with fear and great joy, and ran to bring
His disciples word.

23. Because you have lost someone?
1Thessalonians 4:13-18 - But I do not
want you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning those who have fallen asleep,
lest you sorrow as others who have no
hope. For if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so God will bring

24. with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the
Lord, that we who are alive and remain
until the coming of the Lord will by no
means precede those who are asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of an

25. archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then
we who are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And
thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these
words.

28. Revelation 21:4 - And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes; there
shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor
crying. There shall be no more pain, for
the former things have passed away.
