2:13-16 - In Mark 16 we read that </span></span><u><span style="">God</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
confirmed the word of the apostles with </span></span><u><span style="">signs
following</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">.
Paul reminded the Corinthians that they saw his apostolic ministry to
them thus confirmed. The Thessalonians before them had the same
confirmation of the Word of God, and indeed saw it </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
as the word of man, but the word of God. Paul spelled this out to the
Corinthians in 1 Cor. 14:37, by declaring that his words were </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
his, but the Lord commanding through him. Then Paul contrasted the
attitude of the Thessalonian believers with that of the unbelieving
Jews, who rejected God's word through Jesus and the prophets, and
killed them.</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">2:17-20 - The heart of Paul is
not understood by some, but passages such as this more than show his
yearning and longing over the new converts that came to the Lord
through his word. He knew his presence with them could result in a
deeper discipleship and intimacy with the Lord as a result of his
heart-ministry for them. No wonder Satan opposed and hindered his
desire! And again in 2:19 he declares the importance for believers to
stand firm until the Lord returns, whether through sleep (death)
prior to His return - or at His coming again - the hope that
purifies. Paul again returns to the great theme of Christ's Second
Coming.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">3:1-10.
It is because of Paul's great concern for the growth and
establishment of the Thessalonian believers that he denied himself
the help of Timothy, and sent him to take his place with them. He
knew the temptation to fall back from the Lord, under hardships and
fiery persecution. The Thessalonians knew this fiery trial, both from
the Jews, and from the Gentiles that the Jews influenced. Paul had
forewarned them of such afflictions. Many missionaries failed to
clearly warn new Chinese believers of such persecution, and as a
result multitudes fell away. Mao's wife said, Soon there will be no
more church and no Christians.” She was </span></span><u><span style="">wrong</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
Brother Yun, the Heavenly Man, confirmed that the blood of martyrs is
the seed of the church. Tens of millions came to the Lord starting in
the 1970's to the present in the underground church of China,
composed of small churches in homes. It is a parallel situation to
what the Thessalonians faced. They experienced the 7</span></span><sup><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">th</span></span></sup><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
and 8</span></span><sup><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">th</span></span></sup><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
Beatitudes of Matthew 5. They were persecuted for living righteous
lives! And - they were persecuted for being identified with Jesus,
and not being ashamed of Him, even under heavy persecution. </span></span><b><span style="text-decoration: none;">He
that endures to the end shall be saved. </span></b><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">The
underground church of China should shame and humble us for our
materialism and easy-believism in America!</span></span></font></p>

converts. “</span></span><b><span style="text-decoration: none;">Unblamable

is the way hearts are established! “Through tribulation to Glory”
is the example of today's Underground Church in China. God in His
mercy is raising up trouble and persecution for the church of the
Western World to humble us and direct us back to Jesus and the early
church, and the church of suffering in other lands such as China.
