“Peace. Grace.”

April 22, 2021

“Peace. Grace.”

Blessings folk!

Paul closes his letter to the Believers in Thessaloniki.

There is much to be learned and gleaned from these type of passages.
Do not just glance through them.
Read.
Think.
Meditate.
Seek the Lord.

2 Th 3:16-18

Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance.
The Lord be with you all!

I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand,
and this is a distinguishing mark in every letter;
this is the way I write.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Paul declared the Peace of the Lord upon them.
Yes!
Peace is from the Lord.
If you do not have peace, then you are not abiding in the Lord.
The Lord will grant peace in every circumstance, if we walk in Him.
The Lord is with us.

Paul confirmed that he was the one writing, though he usually used someone else to do the actual writing down.
Paul wrote the closing greeting in his own hand to verify that it was him!

What does that tell us?

There were already folk that were seeking to fraudulently represent their writings as Paul’s!
Paul mentions this type of thing in other places…remember this?

2 Th 2:2
that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

Paul then closes by speaking the grace of the Lord upon them.

May we do likewise.

Speak the peace and grace of the Lord upon OneAnother.
