Jesus Died To Save Us Not to Pour Out Anger - 1 Thessalonians 5

S - 1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us.
O - Paul is talking about the end of time and how the time is unknown to us and will come like a thief in the night. However, he says that Jesus sacrificed for us so that we would live and not to pour out anger on us.
A - There are times when we as Christians say, "Why is God doing this to me?" In this verse here it disputes that notion that God is angry at us and that is why we are suffering. Jesus died on the cross and gave the ultimate sacrifice for us not so that we would be suffering here and in eternity but rather that we would live with him in eternity and rule on the earth with God as in heaven.
P - God, you are amazing and worthy of every ounce of praise and honor that I can give to you. I thank you for your son Jesus and for what He did for me and my family. Help me to spread the good news of Jesus and give me the strength and courage to do this aboundantly. I pray that you heal me and my family of the sicknesses and diseases that are attacking us in the name of Jesus. Also, bless my family and me today.
