The grace
The word "grace" in Greek is "charis," which signifies unmerited favor, kindness, and blessing. In the context of the New Testament, grace is a central theme, representing God's love and mercy extended to humanity through Jesus Christ. This grace is not earned by works but is a gift from God, underscoring the foundational Christian belief in salvation through faith. Historically, the concept of grace was revolutionary in the Greco-Roman world, which often emphasized merit and achievement. For the Thessalonian believers, "the grace" would have been a reminder of the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice and the new life they have in Him.

of our Lord
The term "Lord" in Greek is "Kyrios," which denotes authority and divinity. In the early Christian context, calling Jesus "Lord" was a profound declaration of His divine nature and supreme authority over all creation. This title also reflects the early Christians' allegiance to Jesus, often in contrast to the Roman practice of declaring Caesar as lord. For the Thessalonians, acknowledging Jesus as "our Lord" was both a personal and communal affirmation of their faith and commitment to His teachings and leadership.

Jesus Christ
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." "Christ" comes from the Greek "Christos," meaning "Anointed One," equivalent to the Hebrew "Messiah." Together, "Jesus Christ" encapsulates the identity and mission of the Savior—He is the one through whom God's plan of redemption is fulfilled. For the Thessalonian church, this name would have been a constant reminder of the hope and salvation they have received, encouraging them to live in a manner worthy of their calling.

be with you
This phrase signifies a blessing and a prayer for the continual presence and influence of Christ's grace in the lives of the believers. The idea of God's presence being "with you" is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, from the Old Testament promises of God dwelling with His people to the New Testament assurance of the Holy Spirit's indwelling. For the Thessalonians, this would have been a source of comfort and strength, especially in the face of persecution and trials, reminding them that they are never alone and that God's grace is sufficient for all their needs.

Amen
The word "Amen" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "truly" or "so be it." It is a declaration of affirmation and agreement, often used to conclude prayers and benedictions. In the context of this verse, "Amen" serves as a seal of truth and certainty, affirming the preceding blessing. For the early Christians, saying "Amen" was a communal act of faith, uniting them in their shared beliefs and trust in God's promises. It is a powerful reminder of the assurance and confidence believers can have in the grace of Jesus Christ.

(28) The grace.--St. Paul's autograph to conclude the letter. (See 2Thessalonians 3:17-18.)

Verse 28. - The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. A similar salutation is to be found at the close of all Paul's Epistles; indeed, in the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, he states that this salutation was the token which he affixed to his Epistles (2 Thessalonians 3:17, 18). Amen. To be rejected, as not in the original.
