Dec. 28, 2013– 2 Thessalonians  1-2

The Judgment at Christ's Coming!
This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God.

2 Thessalonians Overview; “The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written soon after the first. The apostle was told that, from some expressions in his first letter, many expected the second coming of Christ was at hand, and that the day of judgment would arrive in their time. Some of these neglected their worldly duties. St. Paul wrote again to correct their error, which hindered the spread of the gospel. He had written agreeably to the words of the prophets of the Old Testament; and he tells them there were many counsels of the Most High yet to be fulfilled, before that day of the Lord should come, though, because it is sure, he had spoken of it as near. The subject led to a remarkable foretelling, of some of the future events which were to take place in the after-ages of the Christian church, and which show the prophetic spirit the apostle possessed. ” -  Matthew Henry Concise

2 Thessalonians 1  The apostle blesses God for the growing state of the love and patience of the Thessalonians. (1-4) And encourages them to persevere under all their sufferings for Christ, considering his coming at the great day of account. (5-12)” -  Matthew Henry Concise

2 Thessalonians 2  Cautions against the error that the time of Christ's coming was just at hand. There would first be a general apostacy from the faith, and a revealing of the antichristian man of sin. (1-4) His destruction, and that of those who obey him. (5-12) The security of the Thessalonians from apostacy; an exhortation to stedfastness, and prayer for them. (13-17)” -  Matthew Henry Concise



Dear Saints,


Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Colossians.  By reading 2 Thessalonians  Chapter 1 & Chapter 2

In the first two chapters Paul is reaffirming the second coming of Jesus and the Saints (you & I) will be found worthy because Jesus is righteous.  “11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (English Standard Version) ESV.  I think it would be of great advantage in our walk with Jesus to read chapters one and two as if Paul was writing to you and I today’s Saints.  “16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.2 Thessalonians 2:16-17.   There is nothing in these two chapters that would be far from our walk with Jesus today.  We should be walking with and sharing Jesus wherever we are and whatever we are doing (see Matthew 28:16-20) today. “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Matthew 11:28  ESV.  Jesus loves every sinner that turns from their sin and asks him into their heart as Lord of their life.  Don’t be fooled by what the world proclaims to be legal or good (see Proverbs 3:5-6) there is no salvation in the laws of men.
