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? If the answer is yes to any of
these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm

comments, by replying here on the blog or in an email.
The
Feast belongs to Jesus you may share it anywhere with anyone!

Brother Mike
