Living In Light of Christ's Return

  • May 2021 Issue

Our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power.—1 Thessalonians 1:5

There are times in our lives that we’d rather forget. For many, that list might include the year 2020 with all of its challenges. But honestly, I won’t be sad to put my entire life on earth in the rearview mirror, because I’m looking forward to eternity with Christ—come, Lord Jesus! Until that day, as I’ve learned from Paul’s epistles to the Thessalonians, we must walk as children of light, living witnesses to the transforming power of the gospel.

My prayer is that through this study we will:

  • Understand the background, purposes, and themes of 1 and 2 Thessalonians
  • Rejoice in the person- and world-transforming power of the gospel
  • Be spurred to live God-pleasing lives in light of Christ’s return

Your devotional writer,
