Happy Are the Sad (Matthew 5:4) John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon highlights the Beatitude "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted," referencing Psalm 55 where David expresses a deep desire to escape pain. This contrasts with the world's pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of sorrow, suggesting instead that true comfort is found in mourning, offering a counter-cultural invitation to embrace difficult emotions as a pathway to solace.
