The Beatitudes

Matthew 5

4 Blessed are those who mourn,

                For they shall be comforted.

The Second Blessing for those who mourn, in Luke 23:28 NIV

 - Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.

It is said that “Tears are blood of the soul” – Jesus knew the pain and sufferings of human kind.

But he says those who mourn, shall be comforted by the help of the Holy Spirit - John 14:26 - 

But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Jesus wept twice in the bible. At Lazarus tomb and in the garden of Gethsemane.

Knowing his hour of death, Jesus wept and prayed. 

Luke 22:44 - And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Psalm 126:5-6 (NIV)

5 Those who sow with tears

    will reap with songs of joy.

6 Those who go out weeping,

    carrying seed to sow,

will return with songs of joy,

    carrying sheaves with them.

  (Psalm 56:8, NLT)

“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.  You have recorded each one in your book.” 

James 5:1 NIV

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you.
