THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE THESSALONIANS
CHAPTER 3
PAUL AND SILAS BIBLE STORY EVENTS
PAUL AND SILAS IN THE BIBLE QUEST
Great to have you
back again for a fresh slice of Daily Bread! At the
end of our previous study, Paul was explaining to the
Thessalonians that they were much like the churches in
Judea.
The Jewish people in both places persecuted the
Christians and they didn't want the Gentiles to hear
the Gospel. After all, the Jewish people were God's
only chosen people for thousands of years, then along comes Jesus and starts spreading the Good
News (Gospel) and that all of a sudden the Gentiles are allowed to be God's
chosen, too.
Oh, my, this has
all kinds of implications. This abolishes the Old Testament which the Jewish
people are so passionate about that it blinds them from accepting the New
Testament, even though God Himself said that it was nullified. When Jesus
arrived, He wasn't what they expected their Messiah to be.
It was
unthinkable to them that Grace could replace law, and that salvation through
Faith was easily attainable, and not seemingly hopeless. Sooooo, they tried
to prevent the Gospel from being spread to the Gentiles, many times by
violent means. And that's why the brethren sent Paul out of Thessalonica
when the Jewish people began protesting.
PAUL AND SILAS BIBLE STORY TRUTH
PAUL AND SILAS IN THE BIBLE ADVENTURE
Now, the believers
in Thessalonica had become dear to Paul and quite understandably he missed
them greatly, having helped them with establishing the church there, not to
mention the closeness that a shepherd feels for his flock. He said he felt
toward them as a father does for his children. With that in mind, let's
continue now with Paul's letter.
When we could no
longer bear it (the thought of leaving them alone in the early stages of
their Faith), we thought it was a good idea to stay in Athens (Paul and
Silas) and sent Timothy our brother, and minister of God, and our co-worker
in the Gospel of Christ to establish you and to encourage you concerning
your Faith, that no man should be weakened by these troubles because you
know that we are chosen for this. Because truly, when we were with you, we
told you before that we would suffer tribulation, just as it so happened, as
you know.
For this reason,
when I could no longer bear it, I sent Timothy to find out if your Faith was
still strong, in case by some way the tempter had tempted you, and our work
was all for nothing.

PAUL AND SILAS IN THE BIBLE JOURNEY
But now Timothy returned and brought us good news of
your Faith and Love and that you always think of us, wishing to see us as we
do you. So, brethren, we were relieved about you in all our suffering and
trouble, by your Faith, and now we are sustained if you stand firm in the
Lord.
For what thanks
can we give to God again for you, for all the gladness we enjoy because of
you, before our God night and day, praying hard that we might see your face,
and might perfect that which is lacking in your Faith?
Now, may God
Himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, bring us to you, and the
Lord make you to grow and abound in Love for one another and toward all men,
just as we do toward you, that in the end, He may find your hearts
unblameable in holiness before God our Father, at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ with all His saints.
PAUL AND SILAS BIBLE STORY STUDY
PAUL AND SILAS IN THE BIBLE PATH
There's a really
important message in this chapter for new Christians as well as those who
have been believers for some time. We were appointed for affliction. That
means, it's inevitable, that you're gonna suffer trials. When you become a
Christian, you're signing up for it.
Well, who would want to do that, you
may be asking yourself. Well, when you think of someone enlisting in the
military to defend their country, you think of it as honorable, what about
your enlistment as a Christian soldier? When the time for battle comes
around, you can't let the tempter win. That's when you arm yourself by
remembering and living by the Word.
These letters that Paul wrote are in
your Bible because you ARE going to need them at one time or another. They
are your ammunition. They are your weaponry. They are your armor. Paul is our mentor, just as he
was for the Thessalonians, the Philippians, the Colossians, the Corinthians,
and all the others that he spoke the Good News to. When you read these
epistles, take them personally, because they are written to you.
