(2Th 2:16) “Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (17) Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.” Why do we need this everlasting consolation? Remember first this is written to brothers and sisters all over the world. Many are in danger. All struggle with their own sinful nature and feel troubled at sins effects upon both ourselves and the world around us. Thank God for His consolation, reminding us our struggle is but a short time upon this earth – eternity awaits!
