Blessed Be God Elder George Walker (dec)
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies. This
God of ours, this God of Jesus Christ, this Father of ours and this Father of Jesus
Christ is the Father of mercies. This Father is full of pity and compassion. Our God
and our Father looked down from heaven and saw the sinful state of his precious
family and did not give us what we rightfully deserved. We deserved to be eternally
separated from God our Father, we deserved to be cast into the lake of fire and be tor-
mented night and day forever and forever, but God is the Father of mercies. Oh! How
we ought to rejoice and be thankful for all the mercy that he has shown toward his
people.
In verse 10, the Apostle Paul says, who delivered us from so great a death, and doth
deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us. Oh! What mercy, no wonder Paul
says, that he is the Father of mercies. No other father in the world could have this kind
of compassion and pity upon their children. Not only is he the Father of mercies, but
also he is the God of all comfort.
Did you notice that Paul not only said that God is a God of comfort, but that God is
the God of ALL comfort? This comfort carries the thought of solace or consolation as
being relieved of your misery or distress of mind. It is an inward consolation that is
far reaching; it reaches so far that it touches the soul of man and gives him a peace that
passeth all understanding. There is no mercy, no comfort, no peace, no solace or con-
solation that can reach the heart of man, except it comes from the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comfort.
No wonder the Apostle Paul says; blessed be God. Oh! How we ought to rejoice in
God. Oh! How we ought to shout praises, glory and honour to the King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. Not only did God put away our sins by the blood of his Son Jesus
Christ. He put them away from us, as far as the east is from the west and remembered
them against us no more. Blessed be God. AMEN!
