"Maybe Not What You're Expecting" / 2 Thessalonians 1:1 - 2:4 / Jim Rosenquist

1. In verses 1-4, what similarities do you notice in Paul’s introduction and greeting in 1st and 2nd Thessalonians?

2. What additional information and description does Paul give us of Christ’s return?

3. What happens to people who reject Jesus Christ? How is this prospect terrifying? How is it just? How can a God of love do this? How does this bring or display glory to God?

4. In verses 11-12, how does God make us, “worthy of his calling”? Why? Compare verses 5 and 11.

5. What two things does Paul say precede Christ’s second coming? See verses 2:1-4. Why would it be difficult to discern this?
