Man of Sorrows

Description

Man of Sorrows is an album by the Australian folk combo Sons of Korah, independently released on 5ive in 2023.

We find, in the Psalms, a deep joy that subsists in deep sorrow. The psalmist was always a man of joy because he was first a man of sorrows. He sowed in tears and reaped with joy (Psalm 126:5). Perhaps the most important thing for us today then, is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of sadness. The psalms invite us to share in the joy of God by first sharing his grief. It is a grief he bore most visibly in Jesus Christ who “was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities.” In this age sorrow and joy belong together and it cannot be otherwise. If we anaesthetize the sorrow, we forfeit the joy.

Man of Sorrows – the latest album from Sons of Korah, like all we have released before, is an invitation to venture into deeper places of divine sorrow and divine joy. – Sons of Korah
