Last evening I was preaching at a Ladies Conference and it opened with the leader drawing our attention to those that helped her in the planning and preparation of the event. She didn’t do it alone. Nothing much is done without others. Even the Godhead demonstrates this: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Together.
“Paul, Silasand Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Thessalonians 1:1-2)
Though perhaps several months after the first letter they are still together and perhaps word has got back to Paul that the persecution has increased so he writes the Thessalonians another letter. Again he tells them this is from the 3 of them.
Paul, Silas and Timothy.
Companions on the journey.
Sharers of the suffering.
Co-workers.
Co-authors.
Fellow missionaries.
Throughout the letter, ‘We. Us. Our”.
Chosen words.
It’s a team.
Your answer is always together.
Can you name 2 people?
If you can you’re rich.
Doing life with others is a grace. I look back over the years of those I have had the privilege to walk with. The things we did together. The journeys we took. The valleys and mountain-top experiences and I thank God for the huge privilege that it was. Yes. I can name 2 people!
