Why Was Paul Apologetic? (1 Thess 2:17-20; 3:1-13)Paul was apologetic to the Thessalonians for not being able to visit them. His personal travel plan was thwarted by Satan, but he was comforted by the good news of the spiritual growth in this new church. The apology reflects the love and care Paul had for his spiritual children.Pastor Daiqing Yuan, Ph.D.
