Comforted of God
By David Wilkerson0PSA 86:15ISA 49:13MAT 5:7LUK 6:36ROM 12:102CO 1:4EPH 4:32COL 3:12JAS 2:131PE 3:8David Wilkerson emphasizes the importance of showing mercy and kindness to others as a form of comfort, sharing a personal story of a church member who felt supported during a difficult time caring for his ailing mother. He highlights that true mercy is often found in simple, everyday actions, such as a smile or a sympathetic word. Wilkerson reminds us that we cannot extend comfort to others if we are preoccupied with our own struggles and fail to recognize God's mercy in our lives. The sermon encourages believers to be merciful, as those who have received God's comfort are called to share it with others.
Being a Comfort to Others
By J.R. Miller01CO 13:4J.R. Miller emphasizes the profound impact of being a comfort to others, illustrated by a soldier's selfless gratitude towards his nurse rather than seeking recognition for himself. He highlights that true heroism often lies in quiet acts of kindness and self-forgetfulness, as seen in the lives of devoted mothers and siblings. Miller points out that our character and the love we embody are crucial in providing comfort, urging that our actions should reflect the beauty of love as described in 1 Corinthians 13. He encourages believers to cultivate a spirit of kindness and graciousness, making their presence a source of comfort to those around them. Ultimately, he calls for Christians to embody Christ's love, becoming a blessing in their homes and communities.
