This letter is written by Paul to the church in Thessalonica addressing a misunderstanding regarding the return of Christ. He starts off by saying how much he misses them and explains why he cannot come and see them. He also prays for them and then instructs them on how to live a holy life. He then explains how the "dead in Christ will rise first".
Impressions: Paul explains how the prophets of old were persecuted for the sake of the truth just as they were now, and would be in the future. Paul's letters often encourage the churches to keep the faith and rejoice in persecution as it is all in a day's work in furthering the gospel. The hope that Christians have is that all believers, living and dead, will reunite when Christ returns and will be together with Him.
