Praying in the light of the Lord's return

Highland International Church · Aug 15, 2021 · 27m

At the end of his letter, Paul prays for his brothers and sisters in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 5 v 23, 24). His prayer is grounded in the character of God, its goal is nothing less than their thorough-going holiness and his horizon, as he prays, is filled with a vision of the return of the Lord Jesus in all his glory. And it's that perspective which means Paul's priorities in prayer are often very different from our own.
