Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ephesians 1:2

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." — Ephesians 1:2 (ASV)

Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul would have us peaceful, restful, quiet. That peace must be based upon grace. He does not pray that we may have peace apart from grace, but Grace be to you, and peace.

And from the Lord Jesus Christ.

We can have nothing to do with an absolute God. It is God in Christ whom we love—whom we adore—who alone is our Saviour.
