Letters from the King
“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.” (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
The church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets (see Ephesians 2:20) who were sent out by Jesus and the Father (see Matthew 10:40) and guided by the Holy Spirit (see John 16:13-15). Paul told the Thessalonians to hold fast to those traditions because they weren’t just manmade ideals – they were God-breathed truths.
When we read the letters to the churches, we are seeing the same revealed mysteries they did, and we are exposing our hearts and minds to the same wisdom that shaped the lives of those who stood at the foot of the cross or sat at the feet of the apostles. What a gift that we have the Bible! God wrote down the mysteries, so we would always have access to His good news.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
