J.R. Miller emphasizes the sacred role of the consoler, highlighting that those gifted in comforting others attract the sorrowful like a magnet. He illustrates how Christ exemplified this ministry, healing the broken-hearted and providing hope and inspiration to those in distress. Miller encourages believers to follow Christ's example, recognizing that everyone experiences sorrow and that true comfort comes from genuine sympathy and understanding. He stresses the importance of being overcomers ourselves to effectively minister to others, and that comfort should empower and inspire rather than merely evoke pity. Ultimately, the goal of consolation is to help others find strength and blessings through their trials, guiding them towards a deeper relationship with God.

John Gill emphasizes that believers are called to do good and to endure suffering for their faith, drawing strength from Christ's own suffering as an example. He explains that Christ's sacrifice was not only for our benefit but also serves as a model for how we should respond to trials with patience and grace. Gill encourages the faithful to follow Christ's example in all aspects of life, including humility, prayer, and submission to God's will, especially in times of suffering. This calling to patience and perseverance is a vital part of the Christian journey.

Phil Beach Jr. emphasizes the transformative power of love in his sermon 'Building the House of God - the Many Wounds of Love - Part 2.' He illustrates how true love often comes with wounds and scars, drawing parallels to the suffering of Jesus Christ, who endured pain out of love for humanity. Beach encourages believers to embrace the wounds that come from loving others selflessly, reminding them that love requires vulnerability and forgiveness, even towards those who hurt us. He challenges the congregation to reflect on their responses to love and the scars they bear, urging them to seek God's grace to overcome selfishness and resentment. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to follow Christ's example of perfect love, despite the inevitable pain it may bring.
