Encourage One Another - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10

 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 ESV 

1Th. 5:1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,you have no need to have anything written to you. 

1Th. 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 

1Th. 5:4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 

1Th. 5:5 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 

1Th. 5:8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 

1Th. 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 

The Lord will come like a thief in the night, but for those walking in His light this will not be a surprise, but a joyous expectation come at last. It will be a festival with the sound of trumpets, a celebration and homecoming. 

Let this word encourage you and encourage those around you. Get ready, be ready! We are building a new temple and the new Jerusalem, the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of man. Spread and share the light where you are.
