Comfort for Christians

"God has a 'people,' the objects of His special favor: a company whom He has taken into such intimate relationship unto Himself that He calls them 'My people.' Often they are disconsolate: because of their natural corruptions, the temptations of Satan, the cruel treatment of the world, the low state of Christ’s cause upon earth. The 'God of all comfort' (2Co 1:3) is very tender of them, and it is His revealed will that His servants should bind up the broken-hearted and pour the balm of Gilead into their wounds. What cause have we to exclaim: 'Who is a God like unto thee' (Mic 7:18), Who has provided for the comfort of those who were rebels against His government and transgressors of His Law.


"The contents of this little volume have appeared from time to time in our monthly magazine during the last thirty years. They were, previously, sermons which we preached long ago in the USA and Australia. Here and there is an expression (especially where prophecy is touched upon) that we would not use today; but since the Lord was pleased to bless them in their original form to not a few of His distressed people, we have not revised them. May it please Him to speak peace by them to afflicted souls today, and the glory shall be His alone."

—A. W. Pink, 1952
