Both of Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians have the same overall theme: the return of Christ and the way believers ought to live as they wait for that day.

In his first letter to the believers of Thessalonica, Paul assures them that Christ will someday come back for His Church. In fact, it is in 1 Thessalonians that we read a thorough outline of the events of the Rapture of the Church. Paul's second letter to the church comes in response to false teaching that spread among the Thessalonians, suggesting that Christ had already returned, prompting the apostle to remind them of the events that needed to transpire before His second coming.

God’s Word does report specific signs and events that will alert us to the beginning of the Great Tribulation. But these 2 epistles show us that it is more important for Christians in any age to live with the bigger picture in mind: until the Lord comes, we are to live wisely, endure suffering, and wait with hope, since we know that one day God will come to set things right.
