• 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.

• "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)
