Comfort yourselves
together.
We are to comfort
each other. That our Lord desires this of us should be no surprise, right? In a
world where so many are selfishly bent through their flesh nature, comforting
each other takes us outside of that selfishness. To give comfort is an amazing
thing.
2Co 1:3
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2Co 1:4 Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of
God.
2Co 1:5 For as
the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by
Christ.
This is truth. For
us to be able to comfort others we must ourselves be comforted by our Savior.
Suffering for Christ
and comforted by Christ, all things by our Savior. This is what we must give to
each other this knowledge, this truth.
1Th 5:1 But of the
times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the
night.
1Th 5:3 For when
they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a
thief.
1Th
5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of
the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but
let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and
they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or
sleep, we should live together with him.
1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and
edify one another, even as also ye do.
Please, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, teach us to
comfort each other, teach us to find comfort in You. We need Your love, Your
faith, Your hope, Your truth, Your salvation, Your grace, Your mercy… PLEASE.
All in YOU!
