“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4
Jesus isn’t saying suffering and sorrow are good, but rather that God’s mercy and kindness pour over those who need it most.
Those overcome by grief due to death or even their own sinfulness are most in need of God’s attention and consolation—and Jesus promises us “they will be comforted” (v. 4).
God steps toward us, His loved children (v. 9). He blesses us in our tears.
