2 Thessalonians 2:16

Verse 16

16. Now The heart of our apostle now ascends in prayer to God, for the completion of the hopes and exhortations he has uttered. His prayer ascends through the Mediator, Christ, to the primal fountain of all salvation, God.

Hath loved For do not imagine that the Father is all justice, and Christ alone all love. Christ is the offspring of the Father’s love to us.

Consolation Of which, as truly forlorn beings and condemned sinners, we stand in great need. This consolation must be also everlasting, for if it terminate we shall be as forlorn and lost as ever.

Good hope By the divine assurance which sustains our consolation, given us through grace received by the mediation of Christ.
