Keswick '12 - Jeremy McQuoid 4: The Return of Christ
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - Living Today In The Light Of Tomorrow - The main talks from the Keswick Convention 2012. 1 Thessalonians is a very personal, pastoral letter from Paul to a young church which he planted in the midst of persecution, but which he had to leave in a hurry. Paul isn’t dealing here with great theological themes like justification or predestination. He writes, on the one hand, to defend his own integrity against various slanders, but also to encourage these young, persecuted, raw Gentile converts, whom he delights in, to continue growing in Christ, despite the opposition. He calls them to a faith that leads to good works, a genuine love for each other, and sexual purity in a pagan culture, all set against the background of a fervent hope in the Second Coming of Christ. 1 Thessalonians is no dusty, theological tome. It is an urgent, practical, relevant, passionate call to live our lives, as individuals and as churches, in the light of Christ’s imminent return!
