The Day Of The Lord

The church keeps a calendar. We mark time from a grave that would not stay shut, and we mark time toward a day that has a name. Scripture does not leave that day unnamed; it calls it the Day of the Lord—sometimes simply "the day" or "that day,". This lesson is not about calculating a date (Paul says we have no need of that kind of writing). It is about knowing what kind of day is coming and what kind of people we are supposed to be while we wait. Get the day wrong and we will get the waiting wrong—growing either frantic or dull. The New Testament will allow us neither. Come and listen to this study in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 as we learn how to wait for that day with clarity, hope, and holy urgency.
