What does the Bible say about comforting God's people?

Answered in 2 sources

God instructs His messengers to comfort His people by proclaiming mercy, not just speaking what they want to hear.

In Isaiah 40, God commands His messengers to comfort His people by revealing the mercy available to those who repent. This comfort is not merely about delivering pleasant words, but preaching from the heart of God to the hearts of His people. True comfort comes from acknowledging the sinfulness of humanity and the redemptive work of Christ. The chapter emphasizes that comfort is rooted in understanding both the depths of sin and the greatness of God's grace towards those who turn to Him.
