Use your saddness to relieve the afflicted

Jesus taught that those who mourn have been blessed with a new way of being – comfort (relief from their afflictions). So we are to bless others by comforting them (relieving their afflictions).

Matthew 5:4 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Do we ignore Jesus’ teaching to bless others by comforting them (comfort = relieving afflictions)?

See note about what it means to be "Blessed" on Oct 9th post.
