"....The Lord of Peace Himself...."

"Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way.  The Lord be with you all."  (2 Thessalonians 3:16)

Ephesians 2 says of our Lord Jesus Christ, "For He is our peace...."  Our text "adds" to this glorious comfort of the ages, "....peace always in every way."

The, "peace," of which our text speaks and other passages has the meaning of, "rest, quietness, peace of mind," and in the Hebrew sense, "health and welfare."  And, we know that this, "peace," is in, "The Prince of Peace," even Jesus.  Furthermore, if Paul said that it, "passes understanding," we can be sure that includes our understanding/comprehension as well.

Our text is a prayer, and I pray it for you now.  There are at least three people whom I know who also need this prayer----- now.  Would you pray our text for them?  I pray this again for you, "Now may the Lord of peace Himself," even our Lord Jesus Christ, "give you peace always in every way."

Father, in Jesus' Name, may it be so for us all.  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
