  4. Sacred Sunday~I Thessalonians, Chapter 5/Like a Thief in The Night...
Today on Sacred Sunday, Bible Study with Char... You Little Thief
So just when will all this end of the world stuff be going down?
We'd like to mark our calendars…and try to finish up the movies in
our Netflix queue. Sorry, everyone. Paul's not telling. The only
clue he does give is the say that this big day will come "like a
thief in the night." In other words, you probably won't be
expecting it. When everyone around you starts saying, Hey, things
are pretty going good, right? That's when all heck will break
loose. Of course, since Christians are always watching the return
of the king (that is, Jesus) they're not gonna be fast asleep when
that thief breaks open their window and tries to creep into their
bedroom. They'll be sitting in the corner with their trusty
baseball bat ready to give him a good whack…Nope. When that day
comes, Christians are gonna be wide awake and dressed in faith,
hope, and love. Paul believes that God has destined all of them for
salvation. Other folks, not so much. Some Advice for the Road Paul
tells the Thessalonians that they need to remember all this when
they're feeling down or they've got a case of the Mondays. He also
gives them some practical advice. Be respectful to the leaders in
the community. Don't fight with each other. Do point out when other
Christians are doing the wrong thing. But don't "repay evil for
evil." Be happy. Pray. Be thankful. Listen to the prophets among
them who are filled with the Holy Sprit. In short, be excellent to
each other.  Paul ends the letter with a little prayer for his
friends in Thessalonica. He hopes that God will make them holy and
awesome and that they'll be in good shape when Jesus comes again.
He also asks them to pray for him (and presumably Silvanus and
Timothy, too). Grace and peace and the Force be with you.
