“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14).
Do these closing words of a letter, called a benediction, that the apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth nearly two thousand years ago have anything to do with the church in the twenty-first century?
Scattered throughout the Bible—but especially in the New Testament epistles—are benedictions like this one, expressions of God’s blessings to His people. In past centuries, worship leaders often concluded services by pronouncing benedictions on the congregation before they parted. In today’s worship, these blessings are often overlooked, and yet they are still living, vibrant statements of what God wants us to receive from Him and then share with others.
In Bless You, respected Bible teacher and prolific author Warren Wiersbe examines the most prominent of these Old and New Testament benedictions of the Bible and encourages you to become a “benediction believer.”
In ministry, as we receive blessings and share them, our own lives are enriched. But sometimes it’s difficult to identify a blessing, to explain it—to know how it happens, when it happens, and to whom it happens. In his characteristically insightful, understandable manner, Dr. Wiersbe guides you through the treasury of God’s blessings in Scripture and shows you the relevance of benedictions and how, having been blessed, you can help others be a blessing too.
