Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11
Knowing the end of the script means knowing that death is not the end. The Thessalonians were afraid that those who died before Christ’s return would miss out on that event. Paul assured them that all whose hope is in Christ have the promise of being gathered to Him when he returns. Because we have this great hope, we must conduct our lives with vigilance, expecting the Lord’s return at any moment and guarding ourselves against spiritual laziness.
