The apostle Paul's letters to the Thessalonians assumes a "gospel-centered" orientation, on the basis of what God has already done in Christ and what He will yet do in Christ. Whether it’s on work, grief, sexual purity or hope, Paul talked of each of these things in the light of the gospel.
As we read & meditate on these today from the perspective of our identity as Christians and as members of our local church, may it also remind us how the gospel should also shape all of our lives-- ours, our families', and our church's, as we share it and embody it in faith, love, and resurrection hope.

When everyone who had followed Jesus watched Him suffer and die, they thought their hope had been crucified with Him. But now, looking at it in hindsight, we know our hope did not die at Calvary. No; at the darkest moment of all, when defeat seemed certain, God was sealing our hope, enthroning it for all eternity in His Son.
As people living in the light of His resurrection, in Him lies our gospel hope, sufficient, enough, for life.
God uses David’s kingship to teach the people of Israel what a king should really be and to prepare them for the coming of a king after his own heart.

#TheStoryOfScripture
The victory is won, and it is total. The people of Israel are free, Egypt is utterly defeated, and just as God promised earlier, Israel has even plundered the Egyptians as they left. But it is not time for celebration just yet. God takes steps to make sure his people will never forget, from generation to generation, what he has done to save them.

God promises Abram that he will make him a great nation and that ultimately all the families of the earth will be blessed because of him. Exactly what this means is not clear at this point of history, but it is undeniably good news.
What fallen humanity deserves is judgment and wrath, but what God promises is blessing. This is what it means when we speak of God's mercy & grace.

Humanity is to have a new start. God even promises that he will never again destroy the world with a flood, giving Noah a sign to remind him of that promise—a bow in the heavens whose arrow would be pointed not at the earth but into heaven itself, at God’s own heart.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God, cast off his authority, and threw themselves and the world into open rebellion by their sin & blame-shifting when God showed up and asked them what they have done. And just as God had warned them, the results are catastrophic.
Still, there is hope. Here we find the first reference to the gospel, the "protoevangelium", in Genesis 3:15 when God declared upon the serpent: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

"The eternal capital city of heaven, the New Jerusalem, will be a place of indescribable, unimaginable beauty... But the most glorious reality of all will be that sinful rebels will be made righteous, enjoy intimate fellowship with the Lamb, serve Him, and reign with Him forever in sheer joy and incessant praise."
