The day of the Lord.

Throughout Thessalonians Paul makes reference to the second coming of Christ. With all these refereces it would be nice to know exactly when Jesus is coming back. However, scripture fails to give us that information. What we do know is that "the day of Lord will come like a thief in the night." We as Christians put such a large emphasis on trying to figure out all the signs and wonders that lead to the second coming, but we really need to be putting our emphasis other places. As Christians we know that there are false teachings and sayings that refute the words of God. We need to make sure we align ourselves with God's word so we can be a light to others around us. The Thessalonians were encouraged to resist tempation. As we struggle to live in a culture that is so counter to the words and deeds of what it means to be a follower of Christ, we need to make sure we resist tempation.
