The God of All Comfort:

…9indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, 11you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.

Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary:

2 Corinthians 1:1-11 We are encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. The Lord is able to give peace to the troubled conscience, and to calm the raging passions of the soul. These blessings are given by him, as the Father of his redeemed family. It is our Saviour who says, Let not your heart be troubled. All comforts come from God, and our sweetest comforts are in him. He speaks peace to souls by granting the free remission of sins; and he comforts them by the enlivening influences of the Holy Spirit, and by the rich mercies of his grace. He is able to bind up the broken-hearted, to heal the most painful wounds, and also to give hope and joy under the heaviest sorrows. The favours God bestows on us, are not only to make us cheerful, but also that we may be useful to others. He sends comforts enough to support such as simply trust in and serve him. If we should be brought so low as to despair even of life, yet we may then trust God, who can bring back even from death. Their hope and trust were not in vain; nor shall any be ashamed who trust in the Lord. Past experiences encourage faith and hope, and lay us under obligation to trust in God for time to come. And it is our duty, not only to help one another with prayer, but in praise and thanksgiving, and thereby to make suitable returns for benefits received. Thus both trials and mercies will end in good to ourselves and others.

Thoughts On Today’s Verse

By Elizabeth Haworth

Despite the division, defilement and ungodly behaviour that was identified in so many believers in the Corinthians church, they were nonetheless a “called-out,” holy people, who were set apart to God. They were identified as “saints” who were sanctified of God – set apart for Him and called to be holy even as our Father in heaven is holy.

In his writings to the church at Corinth, there are many issues that Paul wanted to emphasize for their learning and many behaviours that needed correction. But Paul also wanted to comfort, encourage and edify these believers – and so often we find that this is done by calling to remembrance all the wonderful things that God has done for us – and anticipating all the wonderful things that God has in store for the future.

Paul reminded them that they were called to be holy and enriched by the grace of God – and he also reminds us that our God is a God of comfort, especially in those times of trials and difficulty – for God is always in control and His grace is always sufficient .. no matter what trials or tribulations we may be called upon to face. God has promised to deliver us – and His promises never fail.

God is faithful – and not only has he already delivered us from the consequences of sin and eternal separation from Himself, by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ on Calvary’s cross.. but He has also promised to deliver us from the evils of this world, as we travel through this earthly life – our hope is in Him, knowing that He Who has already delivered us.. will deliver us again.

God’s hand of deliverance has been evident in the past and it is equally certain in the future. God has not only promised to deliver us FROM our trials and distresses but He has promised to save us IN our trials and tribulations. His deliverance is as sure and His Word is true.. and we are to live by faith in His Word. We are to live by trusting His Word – in the sure knowledge that having been delivered from such a terrible death.. God will deliver us again. We have put our hope in Him, knowing that His Word is true.. and that His promise to deliver us again rests upon His Word of truth – for God has placed His Word above His holy name.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that I am saved by grace through faith in Christ and thank You that You have promised to deliver me from all the dangers and distresses of this world and in the trials and tribulations that I may be called upon to face. Thank You that my hope is in Christ.. Who set me free from the bondage of sin and death and that He will deliver me again – to Your praise and glory, AMEN
