Have you ever stood in great need of comfort and encouragement? If so, you know that in time of affliction, there is no thought or word that has deeper meaning, nor any possession of greater value, than that of effective and genuine comfort. The objective of this study is to equip us to have the assurance that there is comfort available, and to know how to be comforted, as well as how to be a comfort to others in the fires of affliction.

Ephesians #12
Eph 3:1-13, Col 1:26-27 - Dispensation of the mystery explains the uniqueness of Paul's teaching. Heb 3:1-6 compares Moses, steward over his "house" to Jesus in the new covenant. 3 distinctive: 1) personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit, 2) divine enabling, and 3) forgiveness of sin (Heb 10:17). Paul was the steward of the mystery (Eph 3:7).
