Today our journey in Second Thessalonians comes to an end. This letter to the church at Thessalonica, concludes with a benediction of blessing. In his final thoughts, the Apostle Paul directs the attention of believers to God’s peace, God’s Word, and God’s grace. Each of these blessings are expressions of the nature of God and His gifts to us. The first blessing is God’s peace. God is the Giver of peace and peace is His gift to us (3:16). This peace is found in the Lord Jesus, Who overcame the world to provide peace to us. The second blessing is God’s Word (3:17). The Apostle Paul refers to his signature of this second letter. This book is part of the canon of the Bible. Canon means the measuring rod or standard that served as a ruler by which writings were determined to be sacred and inspired. Bible intake is vital to your spiritual growth and maturity. The third blessing is God’s grace (3:18). Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines Him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. Grace is eternal, manifested in Jesus Christ, and proclaimed in the message of the gospel. God’s peace, Word, and grace is what you need and what we are to extend and express towards one another for the glory of God.
