Click Here – 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4.
Today we begin looking at Paul’s second letter to the church at Thessalonica. This letter was written about a year after the first one. It follows the standard format of the letter. Paul wrote it with the help of Silas and Timothy, the greeting in verse 2 is pretty standard for Paul’s letters as well.
The next two verses of thanksgiving give a little clue as to what is happening. Their faith in Christ and love of others is growing, and that is leading to persecutions and problems in their lives. Paul will address some of these issues, and continue to encourage the people in the remaining parts of this letter. I’m glad you are taking this journey with me through this short book of 2 Thessalonians!
