2 Corinthians 1:5
2 Corinthians 1:5
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
The abundance of Christ’s sufferings shared with us also brings an abundance of consolation through Him. This relationship between suffering and comfort reveals that, as we experience trials, we are equally blessed with the comfort that only Christ can provide. His presence in our suffering transforms pain into an opportunity for spiritual growth and resilience. This consolation is not superficial but deeply rooted in the strength that comes from knowing Christ’s love. Embracing this truth allows us to face hardships with courage, assured that Christ’s comfort will sustain us. This divine consolation empowers us to overcome adversity, grounded in the knowledge that Christ’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. Through Him, we find peace and hope, even in the midst of suffering, as His comfort becomes our refuge and strength.
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
2 Timothy 2:12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.
Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
1 Peter 1:11
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
