Pastor Jesse’s Reflection on 2 Corinthians 1-4
Life is so uncomfortable…
Why is it that there are seasons we can’t seem to catch a break, where it seems the difficulty that we go through is endless and unnecessary. Through the beginning of 2 Corinthians we see God bringing comfort to us, His children when we are suffering, no matter what has brought that upon us.
Its more than a temporary good feeling but a comfort that shows us that God wants to carry our burdens, our heaviness for us because He is the source of our faith.
“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled we are able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT)
God wants to come alongside of us in our hard times. But it is for a specific purpose. So that we can bring comfort to those around us who are also suffering.
Reflection Question:
What opportunities might you have this week to be a source of comfort for someone who is struggling?
