"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” — Jesus, Matthew 5:4 The principle of this saying is that there is sorrow that can bring joy, there can be gladness in grief and bliss can result from broken-heartedness. Jesus said he wanted to give his apostles a peace not offered by the world (John14:27). The secular world may offer “peace” based on ignoring danger, on fame and riches and on self-reliance.
