What a Church Ought to Be
1 Thessalonians 2:13-16
Resisted by the World

"If the world hates you..." (John 15:18-21)

The Thessalonian church fulfilled two of Jesus' predictions about His followers.  Just as Jesus had
predicted his people would be known for their love, (John 13:35) he had also predicted that they
would be persecuted and resisted by the world.

    I.         Why they were resisted

             It was because of how they received the Word of God.

             
A. It was ________________________

             What did Jesus claim about himself?  I AM.....
             
             Narrow from whose perspective?

             B.  It was ________________________
   
             'They think it strange that you do not.... speaking evil of you (1 Peter 4:3-4)
                               
                                1._____
                                2._____

             C. It was imitative
                 900 miles and 17 years distant

    II. How they were resisted

             A. They ___________________ them.
             B. They ___________________ them out.
             C. They ___________________ God and men.
             D. They ___________________ the spread of the gospel
             E. They ___________________ of their sins.


Because of this, God's wrath had come upon them.
A. In the past _______________________________.
B. In the near future __________________________.
C. In the end times ___________________________.
D. In the final judgment ________________________.

If we follow the Lord, we will at times be resisted by the World. (2 Tim 3: 12)
