Blessed Are They that Mourn (Matthew 5:4)

With Matthew 5:4, there are so many different ways and angles you can look at this text. Originally, we were going to have a message on mourning and meekness, and then, the more I wrestled with this text, the more I thought about it and prayed over it, I realized we need to spend just some time on the mourning aspect maybe even a couple of messages on mourning before we move on to Matthew 5:5.

This message is going to be about mourning, and exactly what mourning or kind of mourning Jesus is talking about. What Jesus is telling us here is that this mourning is a righteous mourning.

With that, we are going to look at mourning over sin, which is the main application of this passage, but this passage also covers the comforting of all those who mourn righteously and so we are going to look at several different aspects of how you can mourn righteously.

I think the main areas in which you can experience this righteous mourning are:

(1) mourning over your sins and the sins of the world (which is the primary application of this text),

(2) mourning over a wayward child, a prodigal, child,

(3) morning over the loss of a loved one, and

(4) mourning over the dissolution of a marriage.
