Even while we were with you,
we gave you this rule:
"Whoever does not work
should not eat."
2 Thessalonians is quite consistent with what we are taught from Genesis 3:19 when God said to Adam, “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” This explains why people have to work and it's important to point out that Christians are not exempt from this order. Jesus offered Himself, however, to be our partner to gain peace and survive the world's pressures. Matthew 11:28 teaches, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’” This verse doesn’t imply that we can be lazy about our lives or that we no longer have to work hard, but rather that Jesus understands us and that He has a sincere desire to ease our load.
