Day 2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Hello brothers, it is a pleasure to participate in the biblical analysis of the Beatitudes, a great initiative of our apostle @ darlenys01.
Crying is a natural response that arises to express some emotion, either by pain, sadness or loss, and socially is seen as a sign of weakness, but you can even cry of happiness, which according to social values is linked with a triumph
The human being is not usually examined spiritually until problems arise, and this is when a council, a help, a different opinion is sought that leads to a satisfactory solution to the setback.
Always a difficult situation is accompanied by an intense pain that is uncontainable, which usually generates crying and vulnerability emerges.
So with this, we can think that blessed are those who cry because they have pain or joy.
HOW CAN THOSE WHO CRY BLESS?
Precisely this bliss, is the emotional response of those who have reached a resigned heart to meet God and receive his mercy, in this sense, those who mourn recognize that they are poor in spirit, and therefore experience a pain that makes such a meeting possible.
That pain is given, because in the eyes of God we are all sinners, and precisely that penalty means that the sin committed is admitted and there is a repentance for it, for this reason those who mourn, because they are sensitized for their own sins and are blessed. by others.
But a suffering can cause happiness or happiness, this reflection is alien to a generation where the cultural context is full of banalities.
When sin is liberated, a sense of joy is experienced, a moral weight is lifted off, and consolation is received as gratification, which is the blessing of God.
This is the benefit that Jesus Christ talks about as blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted by God.
Just as spiritual poverty is not material, so are those who mourn when they are aware of their spiritual need, because they will have the bliss of being consoled in the act of repentance for their sins.
(James 4: 8-10) - "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you, sinners, cleanse your hands, and you double-minded, purify your hearts, be grieved, and mourn, and weep. in tears, and your joy in sorrow, humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. "You can only be happy when you have been forgiven by God - Then I will be comforted.
I believe that sin causes a lot of sadness in the life of man. Likewise, Jesus' forgiveness brings peace and consolation.
Jesus was called a "man of sorrows" because he understood the destructive nature of sin and evil. Yet it was the joy that was set before him that gave him the strength to endure the cross. Jesus knew that his suffering would both purchase our salvation and please his Father. This gave him great joy and purpose.
