“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 What does Jesus mean? Why is someone blessed when they grieve? Why mourn just to be comforted? Why not skip both? Jesus isn’t talking about grieving over a tragic event, but mourning over our sins. Paul describes this mourning in 2 Corinthians 7: As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 AYA-Apostolic Youth in Action(AFM Mogo Assembly)
