Death reminds us that the world is not as it should be. And if we let it, it shapes our hearts toward Jesus and eternity.

In this excerpt from How to Remember, songwriter and author Andrew Osenga shows readers how Jesus, the man of sorrows, is able to meet us uniquely in our suffering and lament.

No matter what worst-case scenario we find ourselves walking through…we can bring our complaints directly to the Lord and trust that even when a path leads us through uncertainty and hardship, God always has a plan for his glory and our good.
