2 Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him… I. THEY GIVE HIM THE THRONE, and cheerfully acknowledge His authority over them. II. WHATEVER IS EXCELLENT IN THEIR CHARACTER IS BUT THE REFLECTION OF HIS OWN. III. THEY ARE HIS WITNESSES IN THIS UNGODLY WORLD. IV. THEY LOVE TO PROMOTE HIS GLORY and advance the interests of His kingdom. Application: 1. This is full of comfort to God's people, because they have the greatest security in His guardianship and love. 2. It is full of inducements to holy being. 3. It is full of rebuke to ungodly men, in that there are no indications of the Saviour's glory in their characters. (G. Spring, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
