The Thessalonian Christians knew God and understood that God's Kingdom was coming. Paul calls them sons of the light‚. They knew how they were supposed to live, they knew God, and they knew persecution. It is interesting to me that they were told to comfort one another with the knowledge that Christ was coming back again. Today, so many of us seem programmed to immediately divide or argue over the details of the second coming of Jesus, but it is not supposed to be this way. We are supposed to trust God with the details and know that regardless, Christ is
returning! For the Thessalonians, this reminder encouraged them in their suffering. Yes, they were suffering now, but one day the suffering of the righteous ends with the culmination of our faith - being with Christ our Saviour and King. Suffering in the body is one thing, we all have to deal with measures of this, but Christians are a people who will not suffer spiritual torment or death, we will be saved from God's wrath! our destination is not hell, not destruction, not suffering, our destination is glorious peace and rest in God.
