God of All Comfort

Paul paints a portrait of God in the first chapter of his second Corinthian letter which shows him as the God concerned with extending comfort to the suffering.  Those blessed with that divine comfort are then encouraged to comfort others in the same way.

This lesson looks at a comfort extended but rejected.  Jacob upon handling the blood-soaked coat of this son Joseph, goes into not just a period of mourning, but a life of mourning.  All his sons and daughters attempt to comfort him.  He rebuffs their efforts and as a result lives for years as a dead man.

As this familiar text is studied we will discover numerous “life lessons” contained within Genesis 37.
