CONSOLATION

Voir les versets relatifs

Le terme hébreu qui l'exprime le plus souvent est le verbe nâkham, à divers modes ; très répandu, il signifie : compassion, soulagement, consolation morale ou spirituelle (Ge 24:67 37:35, Ps 77:3, etc.). Il est souvent rendu dans le N.T. par le verbe parakaleïn et ses dérivés, dont le sens varie entre : exhorter, consoler, encourager, supplier (Mt 5:4, Ro 1:12 15:4, Ac 16:9 etc.) ; c'est ainsi que Barnabas est appelé « fils de consolation » ou « d'exhortation » (Ac 4:36) ; voir aussi Paraclet. D'autres termes expriment la svmpa-thie dans le chagrin (Jn 11:29-31,1Th 5:14), l'adoucissement (Col 4:11), etc.

La consolation a en effet des aspects très variés. Non seulement en ce monde incapable de consoler (Job 16:2, Ps 69:21, Za 10:2, Ec 4:1), le croyant dans l'épreuve a besoin d'un Dieu consolateur (Ps 23:4 71:21 86:17), mais encore le peuple d'Israël, quand sa destinée tourne au tragique, attend le Messager divin qui le consolera (Esa 40:1 51:12 61:2 etc.).

Le Messie est attendu comme « le Consolateur », ou « la consolation d'Israël » (Lu 2:25). C'est ce programme que Jésus prend à son compte (Lu 4:16 et suivants), les conditions qu'il pose étant toutes spirituelles (Mt 5:3 et suivants). Comme Dieu console (2Co 7:6), Christ aussi console (2Th 2:16 et suivant), le Saint-Esprit est le Consolateur (Jn 14:26) ; la consolation est apportée par les Écritures (Ps 119:50), par les apôtres (1Th 2 : et suivant), par les fidèles (1Th 4:18) ; mais sa source est toujours dans l'amour de Dieu le Père, décrit en des comparaisons délicates et tendres : (Esa 66:13) il conserve, protège, bénit et fait revivre. La consolation biblique n'est pas faite de patience seulement ou de résignation, elle est positive, active, due à une intervention de la puissance divine qui s'accomplit dans la faiblesse humaine. Le passage classique sur la consolation chrétienne est l'émouvante entrée en matière de la deuxième ép. aux Cor (2Co 1:3-7).

      5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
      6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

      1 Thessaloniciens 2

      1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,
      2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
      3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
      4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
      5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
      6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
      7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
      8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
      9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
      10 You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
      11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
      12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
      13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
      14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;
      15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn't please God, and are contrary to all men;
      16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
      17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
      18 because we wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again--but Satan hindered us.
      19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
      20 For you are our glory and our joy.

      1 Thessaloniciens 4

      18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

      1 Thessaloniciens 5

      2 Thessaloniciens 2

      16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
