We find in these chapters the reason for Paul's second letter to the church at Thessalonica, and that was they received word that the Lord Jesus had come back and they missed it. Paul encouraged them to remember what he had told them while there, plus to trust the letters that he sent. He explained the things that must take place before Christ comes again, and then he encouraged the church to stay faithful and stand firm in their faith. He then addressed some concerns with some of the church who were idle. They had stopped working and were dependent on other people to take care of them, and Paul said that should not be, and he even gave an example of how Paul and his associates worked when they were there among them. He told the church they were not to be busybodies, but work hard and do what was right. We also find the first description of church discipline with the hopes or reconciliation. Paul's ending to his letter says (3:16), "Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all." The last verse says, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all." We see the desire of the apostle Paul for ALL believers to live in Christ's peace.
