Two Events
Paul mentioned two events in chapters 4 and 5:
the coming of the Lord
the day of the Lord
1 Thessalonians 5.1-
Comparison of the 2 events
The Coming of the Lord
will be announced
will have resurrection
the main event is the gathering of the living and the sleeping saints
The Day of the Lord
will arrive suddenly
will have no resurrection
the main event is the destruction
Main Points
How should Christians behave in connection with these 2 major events in the last days?
Do not be uninformed
1 Thessalonians 4.13
about those who are asleep
Be informed with
about how the Lord will come
about the times and seasons of the Day of the Lord
Ignorance takes us to the Day of the Lord
about God-ordained destiny
The uninformed will be surprised by the Day of the Lord
The informed will be prepared for the Coming of the Lord
Be Alert and Sober
1 Thessalonians 5.
Our behavior determines whether we are sons of darkness or sons day.
the sons of darkness are either sleeping or drunk
the sons of day are awake and alert
1 Thessalonians 5.7-8
Alert - grk. gregoreo, to watch, to stay awake
Conclusion
“wake up”
“if you do not wake up”
The “alert” or watchful will not be surprised by the Day of the Lord because he/she will be caught up in the Rapture.
Revelation 1
Be Sober - grk. nepho, to get self-control, to be sober-minded; to curb the controlling influence of inordinate emotions or desires
1 Peter 1.13
soberness should lead us to prayer
1 Peter 5.8
1 Timothy 4.5
be sober in all things - have self-control in all things in this life; curb your emotions and desires about things
The sober will not be distracted by the attractions and distractions of worldly things and affairs.
Mind Your Brothers and Sisters
Comfort Them
1 Thessalonians 5
Comfort and Build them up
1 Thessalonians 5.
Conclusion
Every true believer of Christ should live under expectation of Christ’s return, daily.
