Overview & Insights
"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father...comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word." (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)
Paul prays comfort and strength over the church, then asks for their prayers that the word of the Lord may spread and that he be delivered from wicked people. It continues the short course through the letter begun on the previous Sunday.
