1 Thessalonians 1
1. The Thessalonians are told both how mindful of them Paul was in thanksgiving, and prayer;
5. and also how well he was persuaded of the truth and sincerity of their faith and conversion to God.














and to await
The Greek word used here is "anamenein," which conveys a sense of eager anticipation and active waiting. This is not a passive waiting but a hopeful expectation of Christ's return. In the early church, believers lived with the constant expectation that Jesus could return at any moment, which influenced their daily lives and decisions. This anticipation is a call for Christians today to live with a sense of urgency and readiness, reflecting a life that is aligned with the teachings of Christ.

His Son
This phrase emphasizes the divine relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ. The term "Son" signifies not only a familial relationship but also the unique and eternal nature of Jesus as the second person of the Trinity. In the historical context, this was a profound declaration of Jesus' divinity, countering any claims that reduced Him to merely a prophet or teacher. For believers, acknowledging Jesus as God's Son is central to the Christian faith, affirming His authority and role in salvation.

from heaven
The phrase "from heaven" indicates the divine origin and authority of Jesus. Heaven is depicted as the dwelling place of God, and Jesus' return from heaven signifies His divine mission and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. This also serves as a reminder of the transcendence and sovereignty of God, who operates beyond the earthly realm. For Christians, this reinforces the hope and assurance that Jesus will return to establish His kingdom fully.

whom He raised from the dead
The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian belief, and this phrase underscores its significance. The Greek word "egeiren" (raised) highlights the power of God in overcoming death, affirming Jesus' victory over sin and the grave. Historically, the resurrection was a pivotal event that transformed the disciples and fueled the spread of Christianity. It assures believers of their own future resurrection and eternal life, providing hope and motivation to live faithfully.

Jesus
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." This name encapsulates His mission and purpose: to save humanity from sin. In the context of this verse, it is a reminder of the personal and relational aspect of salvation. Jesus is not a distant figure but a Savior who is intimately involved in the lives of His followers, offering grace and redemption.

our deliverer
The term "deliverer" (Greek: "rhuomenon") conveys the idea of rescue and salvation. It reflects Jesus' role in saving believers from sin and its consequences. In the historical context, deliverance was a powerful concept, often associated with liberation from physical or spiritual bondage. For Christians, Jesus as deliverer means freedom from the power of sin and assurance of eternal life, encouraging a life of gratitude and service.

from the coming wrath
This phrase refers to the eschatological judgment that is to come upon the world. The "wrath" of God is a theme throughout Scripture, representing His righteous judgment against sin. In the early church, this was a sobering reminder of the reality of divine justice. For believers, being delivered from this wrath through Jesus is a profound expression of God's mercy and grace, motivating them to share the gospel and live in a way that honors God.

(10) And to wait.--The idea of the Advent is that which both here and throughout the Epistle occupies the foreground in the minds of St. Paul and his friends. These two infinitives, "to serve" and "to wait," express not so much the intention of the Thessalonians in turning, as the condition into which they came by turning.

Whom he raised.--Not only proves His Sonship (Romans 1:4), but also gives a kind of explanation of the "awaiting Him from heaven."

Delivered.--Better, delivereth.

To come.--Better, which is already coming. The wrath is on its way to the world, to appear with Christ from heaven (2Thessalonians 1:7-8), and He is day by day working to save us from it (Hebrews 7:25).

Verse 10. - And to wait. The faith of the Thessalonians took the form of hope or expectation for the coming of the Lord; an element of Christian feeling, perhaps, not so prominent in the present day. For his Son from heaven; referring to the second advent. Christ on his departure from this world went to heaven, where he resides, making intercession for us, but from thence he will come to judge the quick and the dead. In the primitive Church the advent of Christ was not regarded as at a distance, but as an event which might at any moment occur. Whom he raised from the dead; with emphasis placed before "Jesus," because his resurrection from the dead was the open declaration, the public inauguration, of his Divine sonship (Romans 1:4). Even Jesus which delivered us. The participle is present; not past, "who delivered us," namely, by his death; nor future, "who shall deliver us," at the judgment; but present," who delivers us;" the deliverance is going on - it commenced with his death, but will not be completed until his advent. Or the word may be used as a substantive, "Jesus, our Deliverer." From the wrath; or righteous indignation of God; here punishment as the effect of wrath. "The wrath of God is, in its deepest ground, love; love itself becomes a consuming fire to whatever is opposed to the nature of goodness" (Koch). To come; literally, which is coming, the coming wrath, denoting its absolute certainty. This coming wrath will take place at the advent of Christ, when he appears, not only for the salvation of his people, but for the destruction of his enemies.
