for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4.
The mourning here brought to view is true heart sorrow for sin.
*Such mourning “shall be comforted.”
---God reveals to us our guilt that we may flee to Christ,
---and through Him be set free from the bondage of sin,
---and rejoice in the liberty of the sons of God.
In true contrition we may come to the foot of the cross,
and there leave our burdens."
E.G.W.
