The church at Thessalonica was about a year old and had faced much persecution and were being perplexed by false teachers. They specifically were teach that the day of the Lord was already come. This caused questions believers who had died and what would happen to them. It also caused some believers to quit their jobs and lazily await the second coming of the Lord. In both letters, Paul addressed the false teaching by reminding them of what they had been taught and urging them to continue to be faithful to Christ. In our passage, Paul is specifically helping the church navigate the situation of those who were living disorderly lives and not working. It offers us important insight in how to walk through challenges.

What would you do if God gave you an assignment that literally changed everything about your life? Would you run? Would you hesitate? Would you simply submit to His will? In contrast to all the busyness and noise of this season we are being reminded of that Jesus is the reason for the season. For the follower of Christ, Jesus ought to be the reason for everything that we do. We have seen that Joseph made choices by reason of Christ. Today, we will consider the moment when God gave Mary an assignment that would change everything she knew and how she would sweetly submit to God’s will because of Christ. May her testimony be our’s as well.

We have all heard the saying, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” All around us we observe our secular society removing Christ as the focus of the Christmas. He has been replaced with extravagant gift-giving, festivities and a whole lot of busyness. In the midst of all of this, we as followers of Christ should remember that Jesus ought to be the reason for everything we do. This was the case for Joseph, the step-father of Christ. Let’s consider his example and see how Jesus became the reason for the choices Joseph made.

 Salvation is the miracle of a moment and discipleship is the process of a lifetime. The day we began following Jesus, we started on a wonderful journey of being changed into the image of Christ. It is a daily, moment by moment process of putting of the old man (the way we used to live) and putting on the new man (the way Christ calls us to live). The Apostle Paul calls the believers in the church at Colossae to this kind of living with a very direct application to be full of thanks in both their assemblies and in their every day activities. In a day when gratitude is not popular, may we as followers of Christ receive this encouragement and live it out sincerely.

Have you noticed how that life is made up of moments. These moments are mostly practical as opposed to theoretical. In every moment we are faced with real choices between what is foolish and what is wise, what is our own way and what is God’s way. Whenever we go our own way we experience we experience destruction and bondage. Whenever we choose to go God’s way we experience life and liberty.

Jesus instructed Peter to cast his nets on the other side of the boat after he had been fishing all night. Though he had caught nothing before, he found through obedience an enormous catch. We also must obey the instruction of the Lord to seek to to wins souls to the Savior.

Jude wrote to encouraged the first-century believers facing the pressures and affliction of apostasy. He urged them to earnestly contend for the faith, be fully aware of the apostates and above all stay true to Jesus Christ. How could they accomplish this under so much pressure to compromise? The answer was worship, acknowledging the great worth of God. If they would stand and not back down in the face of apostasy, they would need regularly return to personally worshipping God. May we learn the importance of doing the same.

"There arose a generation that knew not God." This is the sad statement we find in the book of Judges after God's people had received the blessing of the land from God. How did this happen then? How can we avoid this in our own day and in our own families?
