1Th 5:1 | MHM | STEP | The Coming of Christ. In this section, Paul talks about the second coming of Christ and how believers should prepare for it. He explains that the exact time of Christ’s return is unknown, but it will happen suddenly, like a thief in the night. For the ungodly, this day will bring destruction, but for Christians, it will be a time of great comfort and joy. Paul encourages believers to live as children of light, ready for Christ’s return. v. 1 : Paul tells the Thessalonians that it is unnecessary to ask about the exact time of Christ’s return: Of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you (1 Thessalonians 5:1 ). The timing of Christ’s return is a secret that God has not revealed. Instead of focusing on when it will happen, Christians should focus on the work they need to do now. There are many things we might be curious about, but knowing them would not help us live better lives.
