Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2021
Sunday, June 27, 2021
Do for others everything that you would like them to do for you (Matt. 7:12).
When we go through difficulties, we heartily appreciate the help that is given to us. Ryan, who suddenly lost his father in a tragic accident, says: “There are many routine things that you find impossible to do when you are in pain. The help that others give you means a lot to you, even if it seems insignificant ”. Let us never downplay how much our simple gestures of kindness can bring relief to the sufferer. The first century disciple Mark was very busy. In spite of everything, he took time to comfort the Apostle Paul, and he had the confidence to ask for his help. Angela, who lost a relative in a violent death, appreciated that those who consoled her had this disposition. He says: “When brothers really want to help you, it's easy to talk to them. They do not hesitate to help you or do it reluctantly ”. Therefore, let us ask ourselves: "Do others think of me that I am always ready to console my brothers?" w20.01 11, 12 pars. 14-16
What might motivate us to ponder 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4?
We do not have to rummage to find brothers in need of comfort. Perhaps we can comfort them with the same ideas that others have used with us. Nino, a sister who lost her grandmother in death, says: “Jehovah can use us to give comfort to others if we let him.” - Read 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4. And Frances, quoted in paragraph 5, says: “The words of 2 Corinthians 1: 4 are very true. We can comfort others with the comfort that we ourselves receive ”.
a) Why are some afraid to give comfort? b) How can we comfort others?
We must look for ways to alleviate the suffering of others despite our fears. For example, we may be afraid of not knowing what to say or what to do about someone who is suffering. An old man named Paul remembers what some brothers did when their father passed away. She says: “I could tell they were having a hard time talking to me. They didn't know what to say to me. But I continue to appreciate your desire to support me. And a brother named Tajon said after experiencing a strong earthquake: “I honestly do not remember what each of the messages I received in the days after the earthquake said. What I do remember is that those who sent them were concerned to know how I was. " There is no doubt that our interest in others can do a lot of good.
