In this edition of A Word for Today, Mason Sherrill shares from 2 Corinthians 1:3-7. Reflecting on a time of past suffering, Mason brings real hope to how God may use us to comfort others in the midst of this pandemic. May you be encouraged to look at your circumstances in a new light, to see how God is meeting you with comfort you can someday extend to others.
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
