2 Corinthians 1:3-5 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
It is because of God’s grace and peace that the Apostle Paul can write this. God comforts us in all our troubles. He gives us his grace to continue on and his peace to know that he is in total control. Our faith in God stands on his word which says in Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even our troubles and afflictions are worked to our good and even to the good of others. Paul states that God comforts us so that we can then comfort others who are going through the same things. Just as Christ suffered and that flows into our lives so does the comfort of Christ flow into our lives. This should lead us to bring praise to God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
