1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 - Lectionary for the Last Sunday of the Church Year

11/18/2020

11/18/20
Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the historic one-year lectionary.

Many in our secularized culture suggest that Christians, the kind of Christians who take the things of historic Christianity seriously and find them relevant for every day of their lives, are out of touch with reality, burying their heads in the sand, foolish and stupid. This attitude bothers me in particular, since I am one of those Christians and I think I have a pretty good grasp on reality. I know many thoughtful Christians who look at the world around them, analyze it carefully, and connect the dots between theoretical theology and how they live their lives in society. 

The apostle Paul, speaking to the Thessalonians, says that they are not wandering around in the dark. They know the truth, including much of what is going to come to pass in the last days. They are not to be deceived.

What kind of deception do the Thessalonians face? In 1 Thessalonians 5:3, it is much like the deception we can read about or hear about every day. "There is peace and security." Yet meanwhile peace has been redefined as what happens when we engage in revolutionary activity. Security is to be found in submission to the supposedly enlightened secularism which denies any validity to any religious or otherwise traditional points of view. 

There is no peace to be found in revolt. There is no security to be found in throwing off tradition, discipline, and reason. The idea is sheer folly.  Paul later compares the view of those who would deceive the Thessalonians to robbery, to blindness, sleep, and drunkenness. The trajectory leads to the wrath of God.

How does the Christian live? We have our eyes open to the claims of the Gospel - that Jesus has been able to take care of our very real, very deadly, problem of sin. He has taken it on himself, being put to death. He, the innocent one, gave himself for us, the guilty ones, and endured the wrath of God against our sin. He then rose from the dead and is seated in the heavenly realms, planning to come back and claim his people to himself at the time known only to God. 

Those are radical claims. They say that peace will only be found through trusting in God's work on our behalf, not in our own work. They say that security is something we could never create and that we would bungle if we tried it on our own. 

Counter to the life of our world, then, we walk with one eye on the place we are and one eye on God's merciful provision of life for us. We live as creatures of the light, even in a dark and trying world. We dress ourselves in faith, love, and the hope of salvation. There is our security. There is our peace.

1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 - Lectionary for Advent 1C

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

Pastoral ministry and other types of Christian care are really peculiar. Much of our Western society has been taken over by a sort of industrialized view of labor, where the worker is measured by units of production. There are some occupations and tasks where this makes perfect sense, others where it is completely irrelevant. Our Epistle reading for this week points out a case where appropriate care and nurture anre unrelated to most measures.

Paul, Silas, and Timothy, the authors of the letter, are looking forward to seeing the Thessalonians and build them up in their faith. Why would they want to do that? After all, it isn’t easy to make a trip to Thessalonica. It will cost time and effort. Shouldn’t they just send more letters or maybe recruit  someone of less importance to do it? Can’t the Thessalonians figure everything out on their own? It seems wasteful to send leaders to meet one another.

I was moved to consider this anew when I received a brief email from my missions director, asking me when I would arrive on-site for a conference. I am going to the conference to tell people things that are already easily available on my ministry’s website and social media accounts. He is going to visit with me, maybe even very briefly, but we all consider it important to do so. This is not wasted time and effort. It is just like our Epistle reading. We want to encourage one another, care for one another, take the time to celebrate together, to pray together, to walk together through difficult times.

We give thanks together and we work as faithful servants of Christ. Sometimes that work is hard to measure. I’ve been known to spend an hour on the road each way, visiting a patient who turned out to be unconscious. Arrive, find no family there, lay hands on the person, pray, and leave a note. It seems an odd use of time. But we do it anyway, seeking to build up the people in Christ, according to the biblical pattern. It’s an odd job, but the Lord knows what he is doing. Thanks be to God.

1 & 2 Thessalonians

7/12/2018

Thursdays are for the New Testament
7/12/18
Carson, D.A., and Douglas Moo An Introduction to the New Testament - Second Edition. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2005. "New Testament Letters" Carson & Moo pp. 331-353
“1 and 2 Thessalonians” Carson & Moo pp. 532-553

At the time the letters to the Thessalonians were written this Macedonian church was newly founded. Paul visited Thessalonica probably in 48 or 49, staying briefly before being sent away after a riot and a brief imprisonment. The letters purport to come from Paul, Silas, and Timothy, but are traditionally ascribed only to Paul. Paul’s voice is clear in the letters. Even if Silas and Timothy were contributors, it seems Paul’s thoughts were predominant. Some scholars argue that there are various interpolations in 1 Thessalonians, particularly 2:13-16. However, we do not find any texts which do not include these verses so it is impossible to demonstrate such a view. 2 Thessalonians is more difficult, with some modern scholars suggesting that it is too similar to 1 Thessalonians to be Pauline and some suggesting that it is too different from 1 Thessalonians. Arguments of similarity and dissimilarity are tenuous at best. Carson and Moo then consider that both letters are genuinely Pauline, with contribution of Silas and Timothy.

The fact that Paul had founded the church at Thessalonica no earlier than 48 or 49 indicates that the letters would not be dated before at least 50, probably a bit later. Some have suggested that 2 Thessalonians would have been written before 1 Thessalonians, a situation which is possible. Yet Carson and Moo consider the order to be correct and think the letters were both written late in 50 or early in 51.

Paul’s purposes in writing seem to be to clarify his hasty departure, to remind the Thessalonians of the implications of faith in Christ, and to comfort them in the loss of some Christians. He brings the comfort of the knowledge of the resurrection to bear. Jesus who rose from the dead is able to raise the dead himself and will do so in the last day. Even as we look to this hope we are to be busy about the affairs of life, knowing that Jesus is working through us.

Recent scholarship has a heavy emphasis on the social and cultural setting of the letters, possibly trying to find modern parallels. Because of the early date of the Thessalonian letters some scholars also use them to consider developments in Paul’s theology during his years of missionary work. The letters to the Thessalonians push us to consider the implications of Christ’s resurrection and the promise of his return. They urge us to be busy about the work of the Gospel in our communities as we eagerly await our Lord’s return.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 - Lectionary for Pentecost 24A

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

Our Epistle for this week is from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. Here we find the controversial statement that “the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night” (v. 2b, CSV). Why is this controversial? Some theologians have affirmed this indicates that Christ’s return for his people will go unnoticed by most of the world. Some will be taken, some will be left behind. This even resulted in a series of fictional novels which have scared many Christians. Maybe they don’t believe well enough. Maybe their works are not good enough to be taken by Jesus.

First, we want to remember the close of the previous chapter. There will be an archangel shouting. God’s trumpet will blow. The dead in Christ will rise, bodily, from their graves. This is going to be noticed by all creation. Christ’s coming will be a secret to nobody.

How, then, is this like a thief in the night? I would compare it to the thief in the night who comes to the house, blasts through the front door lock with a shotgun, sets off the alarm system, turns on the lights, screams, and starts hauling things out as fast as possible. The homeowner just might notice it. The thief’s coming was unexpected. But the action is certainly conspicuous.

How are we to be vigilant? We hear God’s word. We know that Jesus is going to come. We pay enough attention to our lives that we will be aware of the wake-up call. We hold to Jesus’ word. When this is the case, we can have confidence. We will not be neglected. Jesus’ coming is for us. He plans to raise the dead. He will certainly be able to rouse us out of our night’s rest which is committed to his hands.

The end of the world is a message of encouragement to Christians. At the end of time, Jesus will put all things to rights. There won’t be any more people trying to break into our lives and harm us. He will restore everything by his own presence. It’s in God’s hands, after all.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - Lectionary for Pentecost 23A

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

Every now and then, there seems to be a resurgence of interest in the end times. Religious leaders will draw apocalyptic scenarios, often indicating some sort of secret, spiritual gathering of God’s people to himself, an outbreak of disorder and violence, and maybe an opportunity for people who were left behind in the gathering to trust God and be rescued themselves.

Our reading from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 seems neglected. Let’s notice a few of the details.

First, we see that the coming of Christ is a matter of comfort. Some of the Thessalonians have become sick or even died. Have they been ignored by God? Not at all. They are going to be gathered to him in the last day, even if they have died. The dead in Christ will rise. There is no doubt.

Second, we find that this willbe an event which will be known and understood by everyone. See the trumpet calls? This is God’s trumpet. It will gather everyone’s attention. Nobody will have any doubt.

What of the response? Those who are living will also join with the risen dead. While the passage doesn’t say what happens with those, living or dead, who didn’t believe on Jesus, we can safely assume that they will not have another opportunity. There’s a sense of urgency about the reminders.

God calls all people everywhere to be sorry for their sin, to trust Jesus, and to live a life of repentance. To those who are doing so, this passage brings great encouragement. We can know that we will be safe in eternity, just as are those who have gone before us. We can comfort one another with these words. The end of time is not something to fear, but to anticipate.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 - Lectionary for Pentecost 22A

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, the apostle reminds the Christians that they are to continue in love, according to God’s command. They know how they are to live. They have consciences and they have God’s Word. They have been taught about how to show love and care for one another. The apostle particularly points out a life of sexual purity. His reasoning is in verses 4-6. Christians practice self control so as not to take advantage of or harm someone else. They also live a life of purity in the knowledge that God sees and knows their impurities.

How does the Lord call his people to live in socity? It is for the good of our neighbors. Verses 11-12 speak very clearly and practically. We strive for peace a life which is beneficial to others but is focused on our own concerns, a life of activity, not despising work. We are called to an appropriate level of independence, not burdening others but helping them.

A convenient way of phrasing this is that we are to love and serve our neighbors. As we do this, and as more of our neighbors learn to love and serve their neighbors, the sphere of influence grows and grows. Eventually it reaches around the whole world.

We reember in all this that the Thessalonians are people who have been taught God’s Word. Part of loving our neighbor is to share the Word of God with others. In God’s Word we find forgiveness and life. This is truly a precious thing to share with our neighbors.

1 Thessalonians 2:1-13 - Lectionary for Pentecost 21A

The work of a pastor or evangelist is exhausting. It really is. You are constantly on call, you are telling people things they don’t want to hear but which are more important to them than they can imagine. You may take a day off now and then, but it’s unclear what it means to have a day off. After all, you are always thinking about the needs, the troubles, the dangers of your people. You are constantly confronted by your own inadequacy and sinfulness.

Am I complaining? Not at all. I’m actually paraphrasing the message of Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:1-13, our epistle reading for this week. It’s a hard life. I freely admit it, and my family would agree even faster than I would. But there’s a great reward involved. At the end of the passage Paul speaks of the thanksgiving he has. The cause? The Thessalonians received the Word of God as a message from God, not as Paul’s opinion. And the Word of God is good news to all who believe.

Through God’s Word we are given the faith to believe that Jesus can release us from bondage to sin. It’s through God’s Word that we receive eternal life. It’s God’s Word which tells us about the hope of resurrection. It’s God’s Word which tells us our best efforts, which always fall short, are simply what God uses to love and serve our neighbors. This is a divine message indeed.

October is often marked as “pastor appreciation month.” Would you like to show your pastor some appreciation? Hear and receive the message of the Gospel gladly. Tell your pastor that you want to learn more of God’s Word. Visit with your pastor and ask for guidance in spiritual things. Show your pastor that you do really believe he is God’s messenger for your good. Put him to work with the very rewarding part of his job, hearing that the Gospel is workin in your life.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 - Lectionary for Pentecost 20A

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

Our reading from 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 this week is not merely a greeting. It does have those elements, as it is the start of a letter from the apostle Paul to a congregation in Thessalonica. But what we want to notice especially is the prayer the apostle prays for the people.

The apostle recalls before God the way the Thessalonians have been living. They have been changed by Jesus and His hope. Therefore, they are working in their community for the good of all. Why is this? In verse five we see that they are able to do this because the Holy Spirit is working in them.

The Thessalonians have turned from idols. They have departed from the paganism of their time. They have found hope which lasts, in an immutable God who has revealed himself clearly. In our subjective age, where we are told to trust ourselves, trust our hearts, and follow our desires, but we have no clear measure of what that means, we’re in critical need for the definitive revelation of God. We follow a sort of idolatry. Our priorities are largely made up by our imagination. This is a recipe for frustration, for anxiety, for disaster. What do we do?

Thanks be to God, He has given a clear revelation of himself in Scripture. We can look to those words, study them, review them, and seek wisdom which will allow us to structure our lives rightly. By the Holy Spirit, he will help us know the confidence the Thessalonians had. May we ever be receiving from God’s mercy and serving our neighbors in this world.

    About Throwing Inkwells

    When Martin Luther was dealing with struggles in his life he once saw what appeared to be an angelic being. Not trusting that he was going to be informed by someone other than the God revealed in Scripture, he took the appearance to be untrustworthy and hurled his inkwell at it. The chipped place in the plaster wall is still visible at the Wartburg Castle, though apparently the ink stain on the wall has been refreshed periodically by the caretaker.
