Persevering in Hope: End Times Confusion

In matters of mystery, speculation thrives. The fact of Jesus' return is no mystery, but the timing of it is; so some speculate with wild theories. Paul cautions the Thessalonians (and us) to not get carried away with false claims. We rest in the certainty and hope of His return. We live ready. 

Persevering in Hope: In order to persevere through any trial, hardship, persecution, affliction you have to believe that things will get better. Under such conditions, Paul writes this letter of hope to the church in a dark time of persecution and affliction, a persevering hope. 2nd Thessalonians is written to give suffering Christians a reason to remain steadfast. Hope is the fuel for perseverence and is focused on the certain return of Jesus Christ. In this series, we will not only discover more about the Lord’s return but stand on the same hope the Thessalonian believer possessed. A hope that can be passed on to every believer.
