Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:2
I was just flipping through the New Testament and noting the variations of this salutation--and it's respective closing benediction--in virtually every epistle. I find it somewhat sad that we don't do this anymore. Oh, you might here a half-hearted (at best) "God bless you" from time to time, but you never hear someone genuinely calling the peace, grace, and mercy of God down upon a brother or sister in Christ. Why don't we do that? We all need His love, mercy, grace, and peace in abundance. Perhaps we should be asking for it on one another's behalf.
