So many things compete for our attention every day.
What is worth pursuing? What has lasting value? What is the ultimate
goal in life?
The apostle Paul’s goal was to love God and people with integrity, and to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
'And may the Lord make your love grow and overflow to each other and to everyone else. As a result, Christ will make your hearts strong, blameless and holy.” -1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
Paul’s goal took him to the city of Thessalonica, in northern Greece. Here, he loved these new Christians the way a father loves his children. Driven out of the city by persecutors, Paul was forced to leave his friends, and to face many trials and sufferings alone.
How did Paul encourage them to handle such opposition? We can learn much from Paul’s letter about living for Christ while being pelted by distractions and painful situations.
