If you have ever missed your stop on a train or bus, it can be a sinking feeling to think you missed your destination, that you will never get home. That is 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5. Scripture tells us that Jesus came to make a way for us to get home; to get back into the presence of our heavenly Father. And in order to do that, Jesus had to die and to rise again and return to heaven for a time. But Scripture also says that He will return for those who are His, and we will be with Him for eternity. Initially, with all the suffering they were going through, the Thessalonian Christians thought the return of Christ must be coming soon. But eventually they began to wonder, “what if He already came and we missed it?” Join us as we continue in 1 Thessalonians this morning.
