TRUTH: The future promises good news and bad news… but it is your choice

The good news about the bad news is…

1. Your affliction proves you are worthy of the gospel
2 Thessalonians 1:5 :: This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering

2. Your adversary will get what they deserve
2 Thessalonians 1:6 :: since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you

3. Your weariness will be replaced with rest
2 Thessalonians 1:7 :: and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels
