Thinking Thru Thessalonians

"He who calls you is Faithful!" (5:24)

Book Overview:

Background:

  • Paul went to Thessalonica around 50-51 AD - Acts 17:1-9
  • preached in synagogue for three "Sabbaths" - 17:2
  • Paul returned to Macedonia (Ac 20:1, 2); may have visited
  • Paul wanted to know about the church there, so he sent Timothy from Athens to visit them (3:1-7)
  • Timothy brought the report to Paul, who was then in Corinth
  • The news was basically good (3:6, 7)
  • They did have some mistaken ideas about the 2nd coming
  • 1/4th of all verses of 1st & 2nd Thess discuss this

Purpose for writing

  • First, we must realize that Paul left quickly, therefore he was concerned about them - 2:17
  • Second he wanted to encourage and strengthen them - 4:18
  • Third, he wanted to console them about himself- 2:2
  • Fourth, he wanted them to live like Christians should live - 3:13; 4:1
  • Fifth, to answer some of their questions - 4:9, 13; 5:1; 1 Cor 7:1
