This is written at the beginning of most of the epistles. I've always considered it a "greeting" (I guess since it's at the beginning of the letters), but it sounds more like a benediction or blessing.
I've never really studied "blessings." What they are, their purpose, what weight or authority they're given, how we are to receive them, etc. Is a benediction a special kind of blessing?
Sorry there's not much direction to this thread, but I've always kind of skipped over the "grace to you" intro as something nice the apostles put in their letters and just was curious today why they're there.
