In this article, I will share Biblical condolence messages and christian sympathy message you can use in cards, flowers, social media, and more. I hope they bring comfort to the one you share them with.
Death is never easy. It hurts tremendously and sometimes it’s hard to find the right words to share or to express. I remember when my dad died I felt so numb. I had lots of friends and family members give me their condolences but the ones that always comforted me were the ones that brought God into the mix.
God so desires to bring comfort to us when we are mourning. This is why I thought it would be nice to share some Biblical condolence messages that you can share with a loved one. Each one of these condolence messages shares a Bible Verse as well. At the end of those messages you will find a section I called Christian condolence messages that share more a generalized God focused message without a corresponding verse.
These messages can be used in cards, letters, flowers, social media, text message and so on and so forth. Anyway you feel like it would bless that person.
