Second Thessalonians

 

Second Thessalonians

This second letter was written a few months after the first to encourage the church to be steadfast in the midst of persecution.

Both letters emphasize the coming of Christ and the practical effect it should have on our lives.

There was an increase in persecution of believers. Paul wrote to provide comfort and clarity in a disturbing time. He urged them to avoid fanatical and anxious speculation about the events related to Christ’s return. For the unbeliever, the future holds terrible judgment. But Christians do not have to fear because God has all things under control.

The scriptures urge us to be about our Master’s business until He returns. The key to a successful Christian life and a healthy soul is to do what we have been called to do and leave our future in the hands of our Father in heaven.

It is important for Christians in any age to live with the bigger picture in mind; until the Lord comes, we are to live wisely, endure suffering, and wait with hope, since we know that one day God will come to straighten things out.
