Lamentations Throughout the Bible, we read about rhythms of joy and weeping, peace, and conflict. Scriptures never taught that we should be happy, healthy, and wealthy all the time. It teaches us how to live the full range of human emotions, yet without giving up hope. In this video we look at the book of Lamentations. It is a helpful book for us today, considering the state of the world in which we live. So, how do we as Christians learn to lament with hope?
