1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Christ’s Coming is Unpredictable but Sure
The Lord will come like a thief in the night
- the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.—verse 2
Like labor pain, . . .there is no escape
- then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.—verse 3
Christ’s Coming is Unsurprising but Inspiring
We are Children the Light and the Day
- for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.—verses 5-6
We will Live together with Him
- For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.—verses 9-10
