Mateo 5:4

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:4

The land of the living, or the kingdom of heaven. The evangelist prefers calling it the land of the living in this place, to shew that the meek, the humble, and the oppressed, who are spoiled of the possession of this earth by the powerful and the proud, shall obtain the inheritance of a better land. (Menochius) "They shall possess the land," is the reward annexed by our Saviour to meekness, that he might not differ in any point from the old law, so well known to the persons he was addressing.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:3-12

3-12 Our Saviour here gives eight characters of blessed people, which represent to us the principal graces of a Christian. 1. The poor in spirit are happy. These bring their minds to their condition, when it is a low condition. They are humble and lowly in their own eyes. They see their want, bewail their guilt, and thirst after a Redeemer. The kingdom of grace is of such; the kingdom of glory is for them. 2. Those that mourn are happy. That godly sorrow which worketh true repentance,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 5:1-99

Matthew 5 THE LORD THEN began to speak to His disciples, though in the presence of the multitude, instructing them in the principles of the kingdom. First of all He showed what kind of people are going to possess the kingdom and enjoy its benefits. In the kingdoms of men today a man needs plenty of self-confidence and ‘pushyness’ if he is to be a success, but the opposite holds good for the kingdom of heaven. This had been already indicated in the Old Testament: Psalms 37.0 , for instance,... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 5:4

Closely connected with this thought is the next: v. 4. Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. The disciples are subject to conditions and circumstances which cause, which bring about, mourning, Luke 6:21-Lamentations :; John 16:20; Acts 14:22. But the chief reason for their lamenting lies in the fact that they feel their spiritual poverty, grieving over the barrenness of their carnal nature, that separates them from the fountain of blessedness. This grief on account of the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 5:1-9

Opening Words of Grace and Truth Matthew 5:1-9 There are many doors into the life of blessedness. It does not depend on outward possessions, such as worldly goods or high birth. There is no soul of man, however illiterate, lonely, or poor, that may not step suddenly into this life of beatitude and begin to drink of the river that makes glad the city of God. Our Lord lived this life before He described it. He has opened the doors for us. If you cannot enter by the gate of purity, can you not... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 5:1-48

In the three chapters beginning here we have the Magna Charta of the Kingdom. This chapter opens with a great revelation of its supreme condition. Character is everything. The first word is suggestive, "Happy." That marks the divine will for man. It also announces that human happiness is conditioned in character. A sevenfold happiness is named. Such character is contradictory to the spirit of every age apart from the Kingship of God, and will result in "persecution." So the King adds an eighth... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 5:1-42

The Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5:1-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The key to the Sermon on the Mount is found in Matthew 4:23 : "preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom." Before the Lord sat a great crowd of people and among them His own disciples. As He looked into those hungry faces He saw the same needs there, that we would see in any audience today. The one yearning of their hearts was that they might find happiness. They had failed. Many thought that wealth would make them happy. They had been... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:4

COMFORT FOR THE MOURNERS‘Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.’ Matthew 5:4 Not all sorrow wins this blessedness. There is a sorrow which is hard, which cherishes resentment against God, which broods over itself and resolves to be hopeless; such sorrow brings no comfort. The sorrow of which our Lord speaks is that which, though it is bitter and hard to bear, is yet as the sorrow of the child, it is still trustful, still holding out a hand for the touch of sympathy, still... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:1-7

A Suggested Analysis of The Whole (5:1-7). We will now seek to present an analysis of the whole sermon. But before presenting it we will explain briefly how we have finally gone about it. As is well known the first thing to do in considering something like this is to look for the inclusios and patterns, and among these we would draw attention to the following: Compare Matthew 5:17 with Matthew 7:12. ‘Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17) --- for this... read more
