This Sunday the sermon is from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – “The Return of Jesus Christ”.  “Therefore encourage one another with these words.”  – 1 Thessalonians 4:18

What comes to mind initially when you think of eschatology or the Bible’s teaching on the end of the world? Some Christians engage in vigorous debate regarding the millennium or the 1,000-year reign of Christ. Some Christians become tired of the debate and thereby neglect to think on this doctrine as they should. Isn’t it interesting in our passage that Paul uses the doctrine in a very practical way? Apparently, some of the Thessalonian Christians were concerned over loved ones who had died. Where were they? Had they missed Christ’s return? Would they see their loved ones again? Paul answers these questions in verses 13-17. And he closes by telling them to encourage each other with the teaching (not debate one another!).
