12th June
Hope in the Lord
1 Thessalonians 4:13 - 18
Jesus' Return should give us clear hope, not confusion.
Vs 13
Doesn't mean that Christians shouldn't grieve.
But our grief is different. It has an end point.
vs 14
Resurrection
- Everything depends on the Resurrection.
- Jesus returned. That gives us hope.
vs 15
Return
Nothing low key. A huge event. It will not be missed.
vs 17
Rapture
We will not be confused.
vs 14 - We are to be informed. In a way that brings certainty. Not in a way that creates divisions based on quibbles about the timeline of End Times Events.

Responsibility
vs 18
Encouragement when someone has lost someone.

We need to share the hope that we have.
