DEVOTIONAL
Comfort, yes, comfort My people! Says your God. (Isaiah 40:1)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. “Comfort” is a word you often hear meaning something that feels nice or makes you feel better. There are “Comfort Hotels” and “comfort food.” There’s even liquor with the name “Southern Comfort” as if it will make things better. But none of the “creature comforts” of this world can still the restlessness we have, because of the fallen creation in which we live. None of the comforts of the world can calm us when our lives are in turmoil from boy or girl troubles, fighting parents, dying family members, or friends who turn against us. Where’s the comfort then?
Isaiah preached, and John the Baptist later preached, comfort to God’s people. This comfort wasn’t some feel-good remedy. It was the true comfort that the Lord would not be paying them back for their sins. Imagine if you had to answer for every thought, word, and deed you have said or done which is against the Lord and against others. No comfort there! No comfort in the Law which condemns you for neither loving God nor loving your neighbor!
But Christ has come. As John preaches, Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. When preachers preach true comfort, they are preaching Jesus. Jesus, who takes away your sins. Jesus, by whose blood the Lord isn’t going to call you to account for your transgressions and iniquities. Jesus, who has risen from the dead to conquer sin, death, the devil, and hell.
True comfort isn’t whether your friends stick by you or whether the doctors say your grandma will get better or whether you get some help in that tough class. True comfort is found in the pouring on of water and the Word, where the Lord has made you His own. True comfort is known when your pastor has declared your sins can’t keep you from God. True “comfort food” is not Rocky-Road ice cream, but the Body and Blood of Christ, which gives you forgiveness, life, and salvation.
“Comfort my people!” says God. So Jesus comes and does exactly that—comforts us with His saving life, death and resurrection. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
“Comfort, comfort ye My people, Speak ye peace,” thus saith our God; “Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning ‘neath their sorrows’ load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover And her warfare now is over.” (Comfort, Comfort Ye My People, LSB 347:1)
