     | 1,415 views

    Suffering is hard to handle. It is easier when it is us going through it and not our loved ones, but it is still hard.

    Suffering is hard to handle. None of us like it. Usually, we can handle it better in ourselves than having to watch friends and loved ones go through it.

    Consolation In Christ

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 1, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,959 views

    Paul’s point is that our own sufferings enable us to identify with those who suffer—and enable them to identify with us. Then they will sense the reality of the comfort we have received from God and find their own comfort in Him. The principle is important. Ministry requires vulnerability.

    Consolation – Relief or Support. As nouns the difference between consolation and comfort is that consolation is the act of consoling while comfort is the state of ease. Bless Him because He is God! You find this phrase “blessed be God” in two other places in the New Testament, in Ephesians 1:3 and ...read more

    Why do Christians suffer? For us to be a tried & tested people; to help us be sympathetic to others; to show the lost how Jesus makes a difference. God lets us suffer, then receive comfort, so that we can give His comfort to others.
