As we continue in our study of the Sermon on the Mount, today we focus on Matthew 5:4. Jesus includes mourners among those who will receive special commendation by God the Father. Disciples who have a longing for the relief that Christ will bring with him when he returns. Those whose sufferings are not removed before death. Those who faithfully follow God's commands while suffering physically, mentally, socially. God will console them with his mercy at the resurrection.
