What do we do until Jesus returns?
“…Occupy till I come.” (Luke 19:13)
Waiting For The Son Paul’s first letter to the church at Thessalonica
1 Thessalonians • One of Paul’s earliest letters • Written to the church at Thessalonica from the city of Athens
Thessalonic a
1 Thessalonians • One of Paul’s earliest letters • Written to the church at Thessalonica from the city of Athens • Paul had planted the church there on his second missionary journey and had to leave because of persecution. • From Athens, he sent Timothy and Silas to check on the well being of the church
1 Thessalonians • Theme - The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ – 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. – 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1 Thessalonians • Theme - The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ – 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
1 Thessalonians • Theme - The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ – 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 • Faith, Love, Hope • Work of Faith – the fruits of our labors • Labor of Love – the toil we expend in doing God’s will • Patience of Hope – the endurance of the saints waiting for Christ to return
1 Thessalonians 1:3 • Patience – until he comes • Labor – we’ll leave our toil here when we go with him • Work – we will take our works with us
1 Thessalonians 1:4 • Election – God’s choice – God chose Christ and all those in him by faith to be saved – God chose Christ and all those in him by faith to be those who would spread the Gospel to the world
The Gospel Comes…. • In word • In power • In the Holy Ghost • In much assurance (confidence) • In relation to the life of the one who brings the Gospel • With affliction
The Gospel Goes Out • The spread of the Gospel through the lives of transformed believers is a testimony to all
The new believers have turned from idols unto God and are waiting for the return of Jesus Christ.
