My Redeemer Lives: How Jesus Heals the Deepest Grief

Grief, at its deepest, can feel like being lost in the night—alone, overwhelmed, and unsure if you’ll ever find light again. In these moments, the promise that “My Redeemer lives” is not just theology—it is hope that breathes, walks, and sits beside you in the valley.

Jesus: The Man of Sorrows, Our Redeemer

Scripture tells us that Jesus was “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3). He understands our tears, our questions, and the ache that lingers in an empty chair or a silent room. When the fog of loss will not lift, Jesus enters our sorrow—not as a distant observer, but as a Savior who weeps with us and for us.

Lancaster writes honestly: there were nights so dark, he could do nothing but sit in the silence, longing for comfort. Yet even there, he discovered something he had missed before: the God of the Bible is not indifferent. Jesus draws near to the brokenhearted, gently lifting the burdens we cannot carry alone.

Comfort That Heals, Not Just Soothes

The healing God offers isn’t a quick fix. It is the presence of Jesus Himself. The Father who knows what it is to lose a Son is also the God who pours comfort into every hurting heart. “The Father is a merciful God, who always gives us comfort... so that we can share that same comfort with others in trouble.” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4, CEV)

Healing begins when we open our grief to Jesus—when we let Him sit with us in our pain, bringing peace that passes understanding. Sometimes this comes in a support group, sometimes through the quiet ministry of a friend, but always by His Spirit.

Steps Toward Restoration

1. Name your pain honestly. Bring your questions, your anger, your numbness to Jesus.

2. Look for God’s comfort in small places. A friend’s message, a moment of peace, a memory of laughter.

3. Allow others to help. Support groups like GriefShare® can be places where God’s comfort becomes real.

4. Remember your Redeemer lives. Even when all feels lost, Jesus is working resurrection hope within you.

The Redeemer Restores

In grief, it is easy to believe nothing will ever feel “whole” again. But Lancaster reminds us: as we lean into Jesus, little by little, hope returns. One day, the fog lifts, and we see that our Redeemer has been walking with us the whole way, gently carrying us like a shepherd with a wounded lamb.

You are not alone. My Redeemer lives—and He is with you now, offering comfort and healing for your heart.
