Matthew 5:1-16 is the part of the Bible where Jesus laid out eight beatitudes. He shared these beatitudes in the Sermon in the Mount. These beatitudes are the values that those who are born again should exemplify. One example that Jesus proclaimed is that those who mourn are blessed. Those who are born again should feel the weight of their sins and mourn them. Being born again should cause us to see that we will find comfort while mourning our sins in Jesus‚ rather than living in oblivion. We cannot
