THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT
By Rev. Oliver Castro Mutuc
2 Corinthians 1:3 says: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.
God understands everything in us. He knows what we are going through in times of happiness and in times of sufferings as He provides the following:
1. Comfort –2 Corinthians 1:4 – in all our tribulations His loving arms are ready to hug us. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
2. Consolation – 2 Corinthians 1:5 - the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation. Colossians 1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.
3. Steadfast Hope – 2 Corinthians 1:7 – as we partake the sufferings, we likewise partake the consolation. Romans 8:17-18 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
God don’t want us to suffer so much that is why comfort, consolation and steadfast hope is being given to us.
I will never get worried on my future as I have a God that is always ready to comfort me.
