Further Study: Dead in Christ

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 23, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

“Many interpret this passage [1 Thess. 4:14] to mean that the sleeping ones will be brought with Christ from heaven; but Paul meant that as Christ was raised from the dead, so God will call the sleeping saints from their graves and take them with Him to heaven.”-Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 259. “The Thessalonians … Continue reading –>

Thursday: Comfort One Another (1 Thess. 4:13, 17, 18)

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 22, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 17, 18. What is the ultimate purpose of this passage about the second coming of Jesus? As we said earlier, the purpose of prophecy is not to satisfy our curiosity about the future but to teach us how to live today. For Paul, the order of final events has practical implications for everyday Christian … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: Rising in Christ (1 Thess. 4:15, 16)

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 21, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar
Empty Graves After the Second Coming

In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11, Paul builds on the earthly teachings of Jesus. There are more than a dozen parallels between these end-time passages and the sayings of Jesus recorded in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. But when Paul talks about the “word of the Lord” in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 (NKJV), he is referring to a saying of Jesus that did … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: Dying and Rising (1 Thess. 4:14)

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 20, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar
Person Rising from Grave

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:14. What hope does Paul offer regarding those who have died? In verse 14 Paul offers the solution to the problem of hopeless grief. In the original language he describes the believers who have died as having “fallen asleep through Jesus.” While falling asleep is a common metaphor for death in New Testament times, the … Continue reading –>

Monday: Hopeless Grief (1 Thess. 4:13)

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 19, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

According to 1 Thessalonians 4:13, what was Paul’s purpose for writing verses 13-18? Why should this text mean so much for us today? Why were the Thessalonian believers grieving as if they had no hope? A major factor was probably the short period that Paul was with them. We know that Paul talked about the death and … Continue reading –>

Sabbath School Net Posted on August 18, 2012 by SSNET StaffMay 27, 2015avatar

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. List the clues in this passage that point to the false beliefs in the Thessalonian church that brought unnecessary grief to those who held them. Within the Judaism of Paul’s day, a variety of views regarding the end time were prevalent. One of these viewpoints, in some form, crept into the Thessalonian … Continue reading –>
