The word for comfort in Matthew 5:4 is not sympathy, which means to feel with, or empathy, which means to have experienced the same thing and feel with, but a combination of two Latin words which mean to put strength in; to infuse with power. This means that God doesnt just pat us on the back when we are in mourning; He gives us what we need to endure the pain of sadness. Its as David said in Psalm 138:3, On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.
