—1 Thessalonians 5:1-10
by: Jasmine Lynch.
At the time of this writing, our world is in turmoil: People are dying from the pandemic; the Prime Minister of England has resiged under pressure; the Japanese Prime Minister was recently assassinated; Ukraine is under attack by Russia; the United States democracy is under attack. Paul’s writing to the Thessalonians is relevant to us: “For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them” (v.3, NKJV). We have no time to wipe the tears of those witnessing mass murder before another strikes. As children of light, do not be surprised: “God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation”(v.9, NKJV).
