He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;16. and gives various instructions; 23. and so concludes the epistle. Give thanks The phrase "give thanks" is derived from the Greek word "εὐχαριστέω" (eucharisteo), which means to express gratitude or to be thankful. This word is the root of the term "Eucharist," which is used in Christian liturgy to denote the act of thanksgiving, particularly in the context of the Lord's Supper. The act of giving thanks is a central theme in Christian worship and life, reflecting a heart posture that acknowledges God's sovereignty and goodness. Historically, thanksgiving has been a vital part of Jewish and Christian traditions, as seen in the Psalms and the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to maintain a spirit of gratitude regardless of their circumstances. in every circumstance for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus This is the will of God--i.e., that you should be always full of thanksgiving. This clause hardly enforces thanksgiving as a duty, "Give thanks always, for you recognise the duty of doing God's will, and this is His will;" but rather encourages the Thessalonians to see that thankfulness is always possible. "Give thanks always, for God has no wish to give you cause for sorrow: His will towards you is to fill you with thankfulness." "Towards you" seems here a more exact rendering than "concerning you." In Christ Jesus.--This kind and loving will of God for our good was most abundantly manifested in the life and death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, and even to this day it is chiefly manifested in what Christ Jesus still is for us (e.g. Hebrews 6:19-20). Verse 18. - In everything give thanks. In every circumstance - in joy and in sorrow; for everything - for prosperity and for adversity; in every place - in the house of God and on the bed of sickness; Christians should not only be engaged in constant prayer, but in constant thanksgiving; indeed, their prayers should partake largely of the nature of thanksgiving. For this; this thankful spirit. Is the will of God; his desire. In Christ Jesus; the sphere in which this will of God is displayed. Concerning you. God by the gift of his Son has laid us under the obligation of perpetual thanksgiving. Our whole lives ought to be one continued thank-offering for all the blessings of redemption.Parallel Commentaries ...
