Difficult but Necessary Part 1
2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
| |||
Outline
Last week we saw from the Scriptures why the world often does not take kindly to Christians. They don’t like Jesus, His Word, the Cross, or our lifestyles. There are also religious imposters, and just plain irrationality that incite persecution against Christians, much of it fueled by Satan. Today we see what Paul wrote to a church that was experiencing that persecution, and a totally different perspective to the world’s animosity.
