This second letter to the Thessalonians was written shortly after the first, around 51-52 A.D. Paul wrote to clear up some misconceptions concerning "the Day of the Lord," also known as the End Times. The Thessalonians thought the Day of the Lord had already come, so they stopped their work.
The first chapter is a pretty basic opening. Paul thanks the Thessalonians for their faith and encourages them to continue to endure persecution so they may continue to grow in their faith.
A few simple lines give such fabulous encouragement - keep on keeping on!
Tomorrow, we will get into the meat of this letter, so stay tuned!
