This week begin our teaching and discussion in 1 Thessalonians. First and Second Thessalonians comprise some of earliest New Testament writings. The first epistle was penned at Corinth by the apostle Paul in response to Timothy’s report on the progress of the church they had established. Paul along with Silas and Timothy founded the church at Thessalonica on his second missionary journey.
The first three chapters are about Paul longing to visit the church in Thessalonica but not being able to because Satan stopped them (1 Thessalonians 2:18), and how Paul cared for them and was encouraged to hear how they had been. Paul then prays for them (1 Thessalonians 3:11-13). In chapter 4, Paul is instructing the believers in Thessalonica on how to live, in Christ Jesus, a holy life (1 Thessalonians 4:1-12). Paul goes on to instruct them of a misconception they had. He tells them that the people who have died in Christ Jesus will also go to heaven when He comes back (1Thessaloninas 4:13-18, 5:1-11). The book ends with his final instructions of living and walking their new life in Christ.
