Day 103 - Read 2 Thessalonians 1-3

Paul wrote this second letter to the church at Thessalonica on behalf of himself, Silvanus, and Timothy. He encouraged the church and complimented their faithfulness in the face of persecution, noting that those who persecute them would be judged by God. The lawless one works to deceive and destroy, but Jesus will return and put an end to him. Hold firm to the true gospel until that day. Imitate the example seen in Christ and the disciples. Paul warned against idle hands and instructed the church to have nothing to do with those who refuse to work that they may turn and do what is right.
