Israel's ultimate hope was the consolation only the Messiah could bring. The faithful waited expectantly for this (Luke 2:25; compare Isaiah 40:1-2 ). Those who trust in riches rather than in the coming of the Son of Man have all the consolation they will receive (Luke 6:24 ). Believers receive consolation through the ministry of proclamation (1 Corinthians 14:3 ).
