1 Thessalonians 5:28
28 The grace [charis] of our [hemon] Lord [kurios] Jesus [Iesous] Christ [Christos] be with [meta] you. [humon] Amen. [amen] KJV-Interlinear
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you.
NASB
The subject of 1
Thessalonians is, waiting. And though
most of us, when we are born into this world, will live for many decades, we
spend most of our time, waiting.
We wait to grow
up.We wait for the days
work to get done.We wait for the
weekend. We wait for the next event of our life. We wait for the meals to be prepared, for the
water to boil, for the car to get fueled up.
And this list can go on almost forever.
But the most important
waiting we will ever have, is our waiting for the call
of the Lord.
For certainly as most
of the other waiting things are transitory or repetitive, our wait for the Lord
will have the greatest impact on our lives, than anything else.
Paul has made it very clear, that Christ will return in the next great historical
event.When that will occur, no one
knows, but it is a certainty that it will one day occur.
To those who acknowledge
it and prepare for that day, great things await them. For those who take these things lightly or
with skepticism, great disappointment awaits them.
The scriptures were
written for everyone, not just for the elite, and certainly not for some privileged
few, who would like to have an advantage, authority or control, over the
masses.Indeed, history has demonstrated
that the powerful want to keep their power, by preventing the masses from gaining
access to their inner circle.
Not so with God. God gave us all Bible doctrine, so that we
could all be set free and made to be independent and autonomous from the confining
powers of this world.Without
information, without truth, you have slavery.
Only with information, only with truth, can you have independence and
freedom in your life.
And therefore, the
grace of God, and grace means His favor, be with you. For only through Bible doctrine, which is the
written doorway to truth, can you gain access to the favor of God. The best and
greatest possible connection you could ever attain, in life.
And His grace is
available to anyone who genuinely and objectively pursues truth, and their
spiritual life.
