In the most basic sense, it is practicing that which Jesus taught us, right? It is loving our neighbors are ourselves because when we show compassion, we are showing that we care about the well-being of our fellow person. We are showing that it’s not just our own interests that matter to us, but we have concern for the interests of others within the body of Christ in that we want to help them where they struggle, or where they might have misfortune. We aren’t just there to judge, as might be a more common attribute among some, but we are there to provide comfort. Just as God comforts us in our affliction, as Paul told the Corinthians, so we comfort others. He would finish up that section to the Corinthians by saying, “For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too” (2 Corinthians 1:5, ESV). Everyone suffers at one point or another; it’s just the way life works, even for the Christian. There’s no escape from suffering, so there is always the opportunity to provide comfort for someone.
