The Powerless, Grieving, and Unimportant (The Beatitudes Pt. 2)
BibleProject
Grieving and Comfort
In cultural practices of grieving over the dead, being comforted signifies the end of grief as illustrated by the pairing of words for grief and comfort in various passages. Jesus draws on this concept to imply that a good life is for those constantly grieving due to experiencing death and loss. The Beatitudes indicate a future or present overturning of the age, resembling the Israelite prophets' promise of comfort as seen in Isaiah 40, where restoration is the ultimate end of grief.
