GOD COMFORTS US (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. God comforts us

a) Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. {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. (2 Corinthians 1:2-5 NIV) 

2. Other Scriptures

(Psalms 30:4-5 NIV) 
Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. {5} For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

(Psalms 34:18-19 NIV) 
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. {19} A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

(Psalms 119:71 NIV) 
It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.

(Isaiah 53:2-6 NIV) 
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. {3} He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. {4} Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. {5} But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. {6} We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

(Mark 13:13 NIV) 
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.


(John 16:33 NIV) 
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”


The End ...
