• These two points, of which we have spoken when studying the first epistle, the love of God and the patient waiting with which the Christ waited-the two points in which the whole of Christian life is summed up with regard to its objects, its moral springs. Christ Himself was waiting-sweet thought! (“2 Thessalonians 3” by J.N. Darby)
• the love of God and the patient waiting with which the Christ waited-the two points in which the whole of Christian life is summed up with regard to its objects, its moral springs. Christ Himself was waiting-sweet thought! They were to wait with Him, until the moment when His heart and the hearts of His own should rejoice together in their meeting. It was this which they needed. On the one hand, they had believed that the dead saints would not be ready to go and meet the Lord; on the other, they had thought the day of the Lord already come. (“2 Thessalonians 3” by J.N. Darby)
• The apostle would have our hearts guided into the love of God, the love in which He has His being, forming His counsels, and acting as, well as revealing Himself. This too alone secures our love to Him, which is at best tiny indeed, compared with that unfailing source and infinite fullness. (“On 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5” by W. Kelly)
• "Into the patience of Christ," not, I think, the endurance which He showed when here, however true and blessed it may be for us to cultivate that, but His patient waiting for the blissful meeting of His own (“On 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5” by W. Kelly)
