People of the Light: Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians
1 Thessalonians 5:12-24
Three Keys to a Meaningful Life
Scripture calls us to be light in the darkness – to let our light shine. From his writing in the New Testament, Paul called a small group of new Christians to be "children of the light." In that letter, he offered wisdom for how to live as Christians in a non-Christian world. Two thousand years later, the first letter to the Thessalonians still offers powerful guidance for us today as we live as people of the light.
