Read: 2 Corinthians 1:3-11
In their book Dear Mrs. Kennedy, Jay Mulvaney and Paul De Angelis note that during the weeks following the assassination of US President John Kennedy, his widow, Jacqueline, received nearly one million letters from people in every part of the world. Some came from heads of state, celebrities, and close friends. Others were sent by ordinary people who addressed them to Madame Kennedy, Washington and Mrs. President, America. All wrote to express their grief and sympathy for her great loss.
When people suffer and we long to help, its good to recall Pauls word-picture of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Father of mercies and God of all comfort (2 Cor. 1:3). Our heavenly Father is the ultimate source of every tender mercy, kind word, and helpful act that brings encouragement and healing. Bible scholar W. E. Vine says that paraklesisthe Greek word translated comfortmeans a calling to ones side. The words comfort and consolation appear repeatedly in todays Bible reading as a reminder that the Lord holds us close and invites us to cling to Him.
As the Lord wraps His loving arms around us, we are able to embrace others with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God (v.4).
