Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 1:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10And to wait for his Son from heaven - To expect a future state of glory, and resurrection of the body, according to the Gospel doctrine, after the example of Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead, and ascended unto heaven, ever to appear in the presence of God for us. Delivered us from the wrath to come - From all the punishment due to us for our sins, and from the destruction which is about to come on the unbelieving and impenitent Jews. This was…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10And to wait for his Son from heaven - It is clear from this and from other parts of these two Epistles, that the return of the Lord Jesus to this world was a prominent subject of the preaching of Paul at Thessalonica. No small part of these Epistles is occupied with stating the true doctrine on this point (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and because, in that connection, it was so well calculated to rouse them to vigilance and zeal; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. He…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-10Verses 6-10 When careless, ignorant, and immoral persons are turned from their carnal pursuits and connexions, to believe in and obey the Lord Jesus, to live soberly, righteously, and godly, the matter speaks for itself. The believers under the Old Testament waited for the coming of the Messiah, and believers now wait for his second coming. He is yet to come. And God had raised him from the dead, which is a full assurance unto all men that he will come to…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10The resurrection of Jesus from the dead was central to the apostles’ preaching (4:14; Acts 2:32; 3:15; 10:40; 13:29–30; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8). It formed the basis for confidence in the return of Jesus (see 1 Thessalonians 5:9; 2 Thessalonians 1:6–10).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. This verse distinguishes them from the Jews, as 1Th 1:9 from the idolatrous Gentiles. To wait for the Lord's coming is a sure characteristic of a true believer, and was prominent amidst the graces of the Thessalonians (1Co 1:7, 8). His coming is seldom called his return (Joh 14:3); because the two advents are regarded as different phases of the same coming; and the second coming shall have features altogether new connected with it, so that it will not…Read the comment
