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.
Do you hear Jesus
calling you? Do you want to know
perfect love? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?
