Happy Are the Mourners Mark Altrogge “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. “They shall be comforted.” By these words Christ refers primarily to the removal of the guilt that burdens the conscience. This is accomplished by the Spirit’s application of the Gospel of God’s grace to one whom He has convicted of his dire need of a Savior. The result is a sense of free and full forgiveness through the merits of the atoning blood of Christ
