Search the Scriptures: The source of comfort McAnulty Writing to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul offered this inspired benediction: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4; ESV).” God is not just one source of comfort out of many. The Bible declares Him to be the God of all comfort, the originator of comfort and the ultimate source from which comfort flows to the afflicted.
