Don’t Miss the Point – 1 Peter 2
Following Christ is about something much bigger than just living a life that goes the way we want it to go with God’s help. Through Jesus God rescues his people from the greatest crisis we will ever face–eternal separation from God because of our sin–and he has given us a new identity and purpose to glorify him.
Ready for Jesus’ Return – 1 Thessalonians 4:13 – 5:11
Much like Jesus taught his disciples, Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians includes a message of great hope and encouragement that Jesus will soon return to take his people to live with him forever. This truth should continually lead us to consider where we are investing our lives and seeking our treasure. Are we looking to this life for all our hopes and fulfillment, or do we ultimately look to Jesus for these things?
