speak into the hearts of all those who 00:22 are under the power of your voice amen 00:26 amen and amen today we’re gonna look at 00:33 the Epistle to the Thessalonians from 00:36 all the key taught to the Church of the 00:43 Thessalonians was comfort the Church of 00:49 the test selonians was actually quite 00:54 okay according to the Epistle glute 00:57 essence comfort is the key thought the 01:01 key verse of the first epistle to the 01:06 Thessalonians its first Thessalonians 1 01:10 verse them waiting for his son from 01:14 heaven who came back from the dead even 01:17 Jesus our Savior from the wrath to come 01:20 when we will say we’re waiting on the 01:23 Lord realize if you’re just as revealed 01:31 in the spirit if you’re asking the Lord 01:35 for something and you’re not getting it 01:38 you’re not getting it is because you 01:43 have not for you ask not and when you 01:47 ask you ask a Miss you ask for the wrong 01:51 thing because the thing you should be 01:53 asking for is not things of this world 01:55 but to know him who sits on the throne 02:00 hallelujah that is the revelation of the 02:03 spirit that is the revelation on the 02:05 spirit so you can only be waiting in 02:07 peace if you are waiting for the second 02:10 coming 02:11 first Thessalonians one first then 02:13 waiting for his son from heaven who came 02:16 back from the dead even Jesus our Savior 02:18 from the wrath to come so either you’re 02:22 asking for something wrong if you’re 02:25 waiting for something to happen on this 02:26 world you’re asking for the wrong thing 02:29 for if you were in communion with him he 02:33 will tell you how to do it if you are in 02:36 communion with him he will tell you this 02:39 is not for you you’re not going to get 02:41 it if you were in communion with him he 02:44 will tell you you will get it but not 02:46 now in such and such a thing by such as 02:50 such a person for the Lord is explicit 02:54 knows all gives details of everything 02:57 and the Lord is not confused and does 03:00 not confuse you does not want you to 03:02 have a wrong idea so in the Bible when 03:07 the word of the Lord is speaking about 03:08 waiting we are waiting for salvation we 03:14 are waiting for death day when all are 03:18 rewarded all are rewarded for he came 03:22 already he came already and did what he 03:27 had to do showed his love show the love 03:30 of the Father and at the end he said it 03:33 is done and gave the Holy Spirit sent 03:38 the Holy Spirit dois would receive him 03:41 amen amen and amen so now we are waiting 03:45 for when he comes in clouds of glory and 03:48 gives a reward to each and every one 03:51 according to their work according to 03:55 what they have done first Thessalonians 03:56 one first then waiting for his son from 04:00 heaven who came back from the dead the 04:02 resurrected Lord even Jesus our Savior 04:06 from the wrath to come our Savior from 04:11 the wrath to come 04:14 from that reward for a reward is not 04:18 always something positive it is just a 04:21 payment for what you have done in the 04:26 first epistle to the Thessalonians 04:28 Christ is depicted Christ is presented 04:33 as the coming Lord coming Lord the 04:39 conclusion if we have to summarize 04:44 Thessalonians first Thessalonians it 04:47 would be that the coming of the Lord 04:49 Jesus is imminent he soon to come soon 04:55 but let us realize that a breath is like 05:00 10,000 years and ten thousand years is 05:03 like a breath to the Lord the hope of 05:07 his return is the great hope and 05:10 inspiration and comfort of the true 05:13 Christian waiting on the lord I am ever 05:17 waiting watchful and waiting on the Lord 05:22 and i’m not talking about things of this 05:25 world i’m not talking about fulfillment 05:28 of promises i’m talking about his second 05:31 coming for at the appointed time the 05:35 Lord makes everything known to me that I 05:38 must do when I have the through mind of 05:41 Christ when I’m in communion with our 05:44 Lord which we seek to be in communion 05:46 with continuously over everything he 05:51 immediately tells you what to do he 05:53 immediately tells you this is right that 05:55 is wrong to this he’s always there but 06:00 we must be in communion with him and our 06:03 weight is our hope is our fate and our 06:07 hope of his return to create hope the 06:12 inspiration the thing that quickens us 06:15 and makes us do his work the comfort 06:19 from all elements from all troubles of 06:23 the true Christian there’s that word 06:25 again 06:27 Paul continuously talks about true and 06:32 so I hope everyone picks up that if 06:36 there’s a true there is a not so true 06:39 the true Christian the true believer in 06:44 Jesus Christ because that’s what the 06:46 question is right follower of Jesus 06:48 Christ the true disciple of Jesus 06:50 squares in 1st Thessalonians he starts 07:02 out by showing them how much they were 07:05 on his mind that he was always given 07:09 thanks for them and keeping them up in 07:11 praying 07:18 and he also states something interesting 07:21 that was not stated in this way in other 07:26 business and that is how how how much he 07:34 believed how clear it was to him that 07:45 their conversion to God was in truth and 07:49 in sincerity of their faith that it was 07:56 a true conversion to go first 08:03 Thessalonians the Thessalonian Church is 08:06 depicted as a model church it is there 08:11 is nothing wrong with him in the first 08:16 chapter of 1st Thessalonians this is 08:20 like the model church there are three 08:23 stages of Christian life and they have 08:27 been through them all they have embraced 08:33 the full gospel the full gospel being 08:41 the
