Comfort one another is what I Thes 4:18 tells us to do. The word comfort is pretty amazing. It means to console another, but it also means to enable one another. It is the same root word that Jesus used as a name for the Holy Spirit. He is the Comforter, but He is also the enabler. He is the one called along side to enable us to follow God’s purposes. The Holy Spirit is at work within us, helping us to do what God wants. He is enabling us to follow God’s plan for our lives. If we look at the life of Paul, he was an encourager, but also a comforter. Paul through the power of the Holy Spirit enabled us to understand the revelation of the Word of God. Paul’s letters were filled with encouragement and cheerleading. He longed for the church to succeed in following Jesus. Paul longed for us to know who we were in Christ. His letters were filled with the wonder of God working both in us and through us. Paul’s greatest comfort to us was the revelations that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Not height, not depth, no thing can keep God’s love from us. What an amazing comfort. We can comfort one another with those same words!
