Day 90- The Coming of the Lord- 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11




Today's passage is full of joy and hope as we anticipate the second coming of Christ and being joined with Him and those who have passed before us. As believers, we have this comfort knowing that we will one day be with all believers who have passed before us. What a comfort during times of grief! At the same time, I can't help but have a sense of urgency for those who are lost. As noted in this passage, the day and time of Christ's return will be a surprise, like a thief in the night. Knowing that time is growing shorter, should we not be eager to spread this good news with those around us?

Things to consider...

At the end of each section its says to encourage one another. What do each of these sections teach that would cause us to encourage each other with these words? 

Think about the day the Lord returns and the promises we have of being with Him for eternity. Praise God for this hope we look forward to because of Jesus' resurrection!

Pray...
Thank God for providing comfort during our sadness when loved ones pass away, knowing that if they are believers we will one day see them again. Ask God to help you share this Good News with others who are around you who don't believe. 





The Bux-Mont & Telford Campuses of the Penn Valley Church Multi-site Network are participating in the e100 Challenge, a 100-day Bible reading program. True revival comes from prayer and knowing the Word of God. We can only live the life God intended if we know what He says about it. Join us as we read through this plan and grow deeper in our knowledge of God's Word.
