Study Lenses

The verse centers on "happy", "mourning--because", "shall", and "comforted". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "happy" and "mourning--because", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 3's "Happy the poor in spirit--because theirs is..." into verse 5's "Happy the meek--because they shall inherit the...", so "happy" and "mourning--because" belong inside that flow. In Matthew context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "happy" and "mourning--because" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
