Belonging to Christ, the only Source of True Comfort

Willetton Christian Church

It is something people of all ages long for, especially in times of upset and distress…. COMFORT. The Heidelberg Catechism asks a very important question about comfort: “What is your ONLY comfort in life and death?” In other words, no matter what you’re facing, no matter how critical the situation, even life threatening, what is your only comfort? In the Psalms we find many beautiful songs of assurance and comfort, yes even in the face of death. When we look at the first question and answer of the Catechism and Psalm 16, we find much there that teaches us about the ONLY source of true comfort, regardless our circumstances. A comfort no doubt experienced by many in the face of recent grief and loss. In this service we are reminded of the only source of true comfort.
