November 18th -- 1 Thessalonians 5 THE ADVENT OF CHRIST |

HE comes suddenly -- unexpectedly. So Jesus said of his advent, it shall be "suddenly" (Luke 21:35), coming upon men "unawares." But against this surprise Jesus warns his disciples. Paul quotes these words of the Lord -- that his day will come as a thief in the night, and when men say, "Peace and safety", sudden destruction will come; but not for the brethren who "are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you" (1 Thessalonians 5:24). The Lord will be revealed unawares in his temple of living saints -- an astonished world seeing before their eyes that which they have never looked for, although plainly revealed in that word of God which has been scattered throughout the world in practically every tongue.
