  4. Sacred Sunday~I Thessalonians Chapter 4/Time for 'the' Talk.
Let's Get it On… Or Not Now onto another topic. Let's talk about
sex. Don't get too excited. Paul wants the Thessalonians to know
that they should be living the kind of lives that would make God
one proud papa. This isn't sounding too sexy…So what does that
mean? Lay off the sex outside of marriage. Paul says that
Christians need to act differently than the Gentiles in their
midst. They need to keep it in their pants and not walk around like
huge lustful horn dogs all the time. Um, are the Gentiles sex
maniacs or something? But why? Well, because if the Holy Spirit is
in you, you'd better think twice about what you do with your body.
God will not be pleased if he sees any hanky panky going on. And
remember, he sees everything.  Love is important when it comes
to non-Christians, too. Show them respect, and basically, keep a
low profile so Gentiles won't start trying to find reasons to
persecute you. (Side note: Paul was not very good at taking his own
advice on this.) And last, but definitely not least, Paul wants all
the Thessalonians to know that God is going to bring this whole
living-on-Earth thing to an end real soon. And, boy, is it gonna be
epic. Jesus died and then came back to life, so he's going to make
sure everyone who followed him and died already is going to come
back to and have eternal life. Anyone's who's still alive and has
put their faith in him will get a pretty sweet reward, too.One day
soon, Paul says, you'll see Jesus descend from Heaven with all
kinds of trumpet blasts and shouts and archangels following him.
See? Epic.  The dead will be raised up to Heaven and the
living will float up into the clouds to Jesus. Then all the
faithful will live with God forever. Thanks to www.shmoop.com
