Thessalonians 4.1-8
November 14, 2010
We are continuing our study through the New Testament book of 1st Thessalonians. Today we come to the 4th chapter.
Now so far .. every chapter concludes with a statement about the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 1.10, "and to wait for His Son from heaven whom He raised from the dead .." Chapter 2.19, "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? It is not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?" Chapter 3.13, "so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our god and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints."
Now knowing that Jesus will one day return … what are we to do? How are we to live? Well … throughout 1st Thessalonians .. Paul tells us what we're to be doing. We are to be LIVING WHILE LOOKING UP! We ought to live each day as though Jesus Christ died yesterday … arose this morning … and is coming back tonight!
Now let's begin reading in chapter 4 verse 1. We're going to hear Paul say that LIVING WHILE LOOKING UP includes Walking in Purity.
