J

Clayton Wells We ourselves are comforted by God as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings; so, through Christ, we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation, and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings we suffer. It’s probably been one of the biggest blessings in...
