wanted them to be spiritual
ly fit for the days ahead
Lesson: Beginning in
Isaiah 52 and 53. we get a
glimpse of the "Suffering
Servant." The suffering
will be physical and men
tal. Isaiah 53:3 states that
He will be despised and
rejected by men Christ
suffered while He complet
ed His mission: therefore
should His followers expect
anything less? When Paul
pens this letter he goes
straight to the point
Persecution is a fact but be
encouraged Oduring the
process. The apostle
thanks God for their spiri
tual maturity and love for
one another Despite all
that is going on. they don't
turn on each other. He even
brags about them to the
other churches. Their
maturity indicates their
faith and trust in God which
will inspire others Their
"fitness" and faith enables
them to endure. How did
this "fitness" come about?
Paul acknowledges their
prayer life, their commit
ment to embrace the "Good
News:" and their practiced
love for one another. What
about their persecutors?
Paul addresses their future
in verses 6-4 God will
bring relief to ihose perse
cuted and judgement upon
those who reject Him. In
the end when Jesus returns,
the wicked will be punished
(everlasting destruction)
while the faithful will be
with Him forever
Application: It is
important for believers to
remember that every day of
our lives speaks to our
beliefs Yes. it is very easy
to be a Christian when
times are good. But every
day doesn't happen that
way. Then what? As a
Christian (Christ-like), we
must accept that hardship
will come but our responses
to them arc more important.
There is a war going ori
here and being fit is para
mount! Our fitness is a
spiritual one. We must
know the Word of God and
trust in it1 God is love
therefore to be His. we
must, practice that love
This is not a Sunday activi
ty but a 24 7 one Do we
bring glory to God the
Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost .' Do we try our
best to live up to His stan
dards ' Ho our lives repre
sent lo\c and purpose'
God wants our li\es not our
trinkets He is there lor us
in all situations Trust and
live for Him today !
