From the report of their great thanksgiving to God for the progress of the Thessalonians, Paul, Silas, and Timothy turn to their first major concern for them. They do not want the peace of these gathered believers to be undermined by the great difficulty of persecution for saying, "Christ is Lord" that has come upon them. In order to strengthen an already strong faith they direct them to the reality of what's going on in the persecution that they face and in this to the reality of what will happen when the Lord Jesus Christ returns. This sermon calls us to continue in the Faith and not give up—each member enduring in faith strengthens the peace of the church even in persecution.
