What does the Bible say about suffering and comfort?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that suffering is an integral part of life, but God provides comfort through His Word and the Gospel.
In Isaiah 40:1-2, we read of God's call to His people to find comfort in Him, indicating that while suffering is a reality, His presence and promises offer true solace. The message of comfort is woven throughout Scripture, especially in challenging times, reminding us that God does not remove burdens but strengthens us to carry them. This comfort is not just a soothing word; it is the deep assurance that Christ's suffering has accomplished our redemption, allowing us to approach God's throne with boldness, knowing our sins are forgiven (Hebrews 4:16).
