The Father of Compassion, the God of all Comfort (2 Cor 1:2-4)

• Understanding God's compassion is vital for living an authentic Christian life.
• It shines most brightly in the N.T. in Jesus, but there are some remarkable stories in the Old, demonstrating that God does not change.
• Many of us have trouble receiving this compassion and grace, which makes it hard for us to show it to others, and to experience joy ourselves.
