All the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that . . . we might have hope.—Rom. 15:4. Knowing the truth about God’s purposes and having a genuine hope for the future will certainly provide great comfort. Jesus set us a fine example by using the Scriptures to instruct and comfort others. During one of his post resurrection appearances, for instance, he ‘fully opened up the Scriptures’ to two of his disciples. As he spoke to them, their hearts were deeply touched. (Luke 24:32) In keeping with Jesus’ excellent example, the apostle Paul ‘reasoned from the Scriptures.’ In Beroea, his listeners “received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily.” (Acts 17:2, 10, 11) How appropriate it is that we read the Bible daily, benefiting from it. Designed to bring us comfort and hope in these troublesome times!
