Hurts
In the Bible, the term "hurt" generally refers to physical or emotional pain, injury, or harm inflicted upon individuals or communities. Various Hebrew and Greek words convey this concept, often revealing the profound impact of suffering on both a personal and communal level. For instance, the Hebrew word "ra‘" (רַע), which often translates to "evil" or "harm," can be associated with actions that cause hurt or distress (Isaiah 45:7). In the New Testament, the Greek word "kakos" (κακός) also implies moral badness or something that is harmful, echoing similar themes of injury or distress (Romans 12:21).The Bible frequently addresses the theme of hurt and suffering, offering comfort and healing through divine intervention. For example, Psalm 147:3 states, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds," showcasing God's compassionate response to human pain. Additionally, the teachings of Jesus emphasize the importance of compassion and care for those who are hurting, as seen in Matthew 11:28-30, where He invites the weary and burdened to find rest in Him. Thus, the biblical narrative acknowledges the reality of hurt while also providing hope and a pathway to healing through faith and community support.

Staying Sweet in Spite of Being Hurt
By David Wilkerson6.9K37:30HurtsNUM 16:18MAT 6:14In this sermon, the speaker addresses the issue of Christians becoming bitter and cold instead of staying sweet in spite of being hurt. The speaker emphasizes that even though society is disintegrating and the last days are approaching, Christians should strive to maintain the victory of the cross and reflect the image of Jesus. The sermon references the story of Korah's rebellion in Numbers 16, where a group of people questioned and rebelled against Moses and Aaron's leadership. God's response to this murmuring and complaining was severe, as He threatened to consume the entire congregation. Moses, as a true pastor, intervened and urged the congregation to separate themselves from the wicked men to avoid being swept away in their sin. The sermon concludes by suggesting that there may be individuals in the congregation who have been guilty of similar attitudes and behaviors, urging them to repent and turn away from bitterness and strife.
