Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

"Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word." — 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 (ASV)

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

I believe in an established Church, not established by acts of Parliament, but established by the purpose and by the presence of God in its midst. Oh, to be a member of a Church established in every good word and work!

Do you know God's Word? Seek to know it better still. Try to strike your roots down deeply into this fruitful soil; suck out its divine nutriment, so that you may grow so strong that none shall be able to tear you away from it.

Have you begun to work for Jesus? May you be established in that good work!

Go on working more and more, with both your hands and all your heart, that somehow you may glorify his blessed name. Let me read these sweet verses again: Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
