Peace be unto you

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy, to the assembly (church) of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah): Grace (spiritual blessing and divine favor) to you and [heart] peace.” 1 Thessalonians 1v1 (AMP)

Another element which one would often see in greetings in the scripture apart from grace is peace. Beloved, peace be unto you. The Lord Jesus Himself recognized the importance of this peace as He Himself left His peace with us. John 14v27 (AMP) saying “Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]” Beloved, I pray that “… God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you rich blessings and peace-filled hearts and minds.” (2 Thessalonians 1v2, TLB). Indeed our God is Himself called the God of peace (1 Thessalonians 5v23), and one way in which He has provided by which we can continually enjoy His peace is through prayer:-

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4v6-7 (TLB)

Prayer

From 2 Thessalonians 3v16 (AMP) I pray, that the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace, the peace of His kingdom, at all times and in all ways, under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes. May the Lord be with you all in Jesus name, amen.
