The city of Thessalonica was evangelized as part of the Second Missionary Journey by the Apostle Paul and his coworkers (Acts 17; 1 Thessalonians 1). They were led there by the Spirit of God by what we know as the Macedonian Vision (Acts 16:9-10). The letter to the church of Thessalonica was written by the Apostle Paul to encourage and comfort the church facing severe persecution (1:2-10; 2:13-16) and to correct misunderstandings concerning future events (4:13-5:11). Our study in the Book of Thessalonians should prove to be a great blessing as well as challenging. It is an intimate epistle as Paul writes like he is having a heart-to-heart talk with the new believers at Thessalonica.
