Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Jesus knows that sublime happiness is worth mourning or being poor in spirit. Try to describe in your best words what mourning is? How do you think people feel when they mourn? Jesus says that we will be blessed or happy when we mourn and that we will be comforted.
The mourning Jesus is talking about is an understanding of your sin. Jesus wants us to know that our sin is not a good thing. When we realize what sin is and why Jesus had to come and die, it will give us a reason to mourn. So why is there happiness in mourning over sin? We can be happy in this mourning because we know we need a savior. If you did not know you were sick and then ended up in the hospital unexpectedly, wouldn’t that bother you? But, if you knew you were sick before it got really bad and found out there was a remedy, you would be happy you could be healed.
When we realize we are sinners and then find the remedy, which is Jesus, we can be happy that our sin can be forgiven. Jesus says we can be comforted in our mourning because this life of sin will not last forever. If you look back at the very first Beatitude you will see the reward, which is the Kingdom of God. How exciting to know that our greatest comfort is being with God forever.
