Christian Hope

1 Thessalonians 4:13 – 5:28

  

There’s no need to worry about Christians who die before Jesus returns (4:13-18) 

 – because v14


– because v15


– because v16-17


– so, encourage each other v18 

 

There’s no need to worry about ‘when’ Jesus will return (5:1-11) 

– you know he IS coming v2-3


 – be ready v4-8


 – you know where you’re heading v9-10 

– so encourage each other v11 

 

Focus on finishing (5:12-28)
