Let us begin to ponder today I Thessalonians 5:1-7 where we begin to see Paul’s last thoughts of Admonishment while we wait for our King.\u00a0 In the first 7 verses we have an admonishment about our darkness<\/em>.\u00a0 In these verses we find an admonishment of comparison<\/em>.\u00a0 In verse 1 there is a comparison of times and seasons. Let us be careful of the changing of moral, spiritual, and political seasons.\u00a0 Watch for the changing times of Israel.\u00a0In verses 2,4,5, and 7 there is a comparison of day, night, and light and dark.\u00a0 Oh, church, be alert.\u00a0 Don’t let the dark overtake us and destroy our spiritual day. Satan has come so mystically slow.\u00a0 We may even now be over taken and not know it.\u00a0 Look up. Look to the Light.\u00a0 In verse 2 and 4 there is an admonishment of coming<\/em>.\u00a0We are told that Christ our King will come like a thief in the night. A thief comes without warning. He comes for the rarest jewels and those things that we can put no price on in the house. In verse 3 there is an admonishment of confusion<\/em>. Everyone at that time will say that everything is at peace and it is then that there will be sudden destruction. It will be in such an hour as ye think not. In verses 5-7 there is an admonishment of conversation<\/em>. Conversation speaks of our walk and not our talk. Let us walk in the light. Don’t slumber and sleep while drunk on the world but be on guard and watch. You may say ‘Why should I walk like this’? Our text says ‘ lest you be overtaken with the dark and our King come and catch us unaware’.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
