      Master Teacher - R.H. Boyd Publishing Corporation

      Lesson 1 for Week of January 6, 2019

      STEADFAST LOVE

      Background Passage: 2 Thessalonians 2:13–3:5; 2 John 4–11

      Lesson Passages: 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5; 2 John 4–11

      UNIFYING TOPIC

      Hold Fast to God’s Love

      LESSON TEXT

      I. Concern for the Thessalonian Church (2 Thessalonians 3:1–5)

      II. Concern for the Elect Lady and her Children (2 John 4–11)

      III. Concern for the Church Today

      THE MAIN THOUGHT

      And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. (2 John 6, KJV)

      UNIFYING PRINCIPLE

      Effective personal relationships often are thwarted by destructive forces. What can counteract these forces? Paul and John instruct the believers to walk steadfastly in the love of God by loving one another and following God’s commandments.

      LESSON AIM

      Apostles Paul and John wrote to different recipients at different times about different concerns, yet what they had to say was the same. Students today should be aware the problems they addressed still remain and continue to threaten our churches. Just as important, the solutions the apostles proposed then remain the solutions today.

      LIFE AIM

      Students should understand the gospel does not lend itself to true followers of Christ picking and choosing what they feel is interesting or meaningful from an endless variety of options available to believers these days. Believers must be careful and vigilant not to be led astray from God’s truth.

      BEFORE YOU TEACH

      Consider . . .

      Focus for College and Career—Younger Christians may balk at the idea it is self-centered to seek out a church they feel is exciting and trendy.

      Focus for Adult Christian Life—Older adults probably have experienced being led astray by the lures of modern life and may be offended by the suggestion they have been deceived.

      Supplementary Study Materials

      For further reference, see today’s lesson from Boyd’s Commentary, New National Baptist Hymnal, 21st Century Edition, #51 (NNBH #248), and God’s Promises Bible.

      TEACHING STEPS

      First Step: Introduce the lesson by asking class members to share what they believe to be the greatest expression of love that they personally have witnessed. Discuss how these examples illustrate giving, sacrifice, and self-denial.

      Second Step: Direct class members to read Acts 17:2–9 and Acts 18:1–17. Compare what Paul experienced in these two cities and relate his experiences to what he had to say to the church at Thessalonica in 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5.

      Third Step: Divide the class into three groups. Give each group one of the following passages: 1 Corinthians 13; Romans 13:9–10; 1 John 4:19–21. Tell the groups to read and discuss what their passages say about love, then share what they concluded with the entire class.

      Fourth Step: College and Career: On a board or flip chart, list attributes class members think should belong to the ideal Christian. Which attributes are the most difficult to develop in our modern world?

      Adult Christian Life: Discuss these two facets of being an American: consumerism and individualism. How does each threaten the genuine expression of Christianity?

      Fifth Step: Ask class members to bring to mind one way this lesson has opened their eyes to an area in which they need to grow. Close with prayer that God will protect the seed of the gospel planted in the heart of each class member.

      God’s Word in Life

      In 2 John 10–11, the apostle warns those to whom he wrote about fraternizing with false teachers. He wrote that Christians are not to greet them, not to invite them into their homes, and not to give anyone any suggestion of participating in or approving of their teachings. So, when a Jehovah’s Witness comes to your door, what are you to do? When the Mormon missionaries knock, do you let them in?

      Some believe it is fine to invite these people into their homes as long as they do so with the intention of having a dialogue with the intent of convincing them of their errors and turning them to Christ. Perhaps it has worked on occasion. Certainly it has worked the other way so weak Christians have been led astray to join heretical sects.

      Connect with Learners: Using an old map that’s been cut or torn into a section for each class member, ask them how their walks of faith are going. What should be their next turn? Encourage them to keep their maps in their Bibles as reminders.

      Introduction

      Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians probably was written around A.D. 52 or 53. It is one of the earliest books of the New Testament, while John’s second letter to a church he calls elect lady, is one of the last New Testament books to be written, probably late in the first century, between A.D. 90 and 95. Yet each letter indicates similar situations.

      Roman rule had many benefits. Under the Pax Romana, relative peace existed within the various parts of the Roman Empire, allowing travel and commerce to develop across much of Europe, Asia, and Africa. To facilitate travel and move their armies quickly should trouble arise, the Romans constructed a network of roads, many of which remain visible. Paul used these roads to spread the Gospel, but many deceivers traveled these routes, too.

      Some of these deceivers believed Paul was in error. Others were charlatans, presuming upon the graciousness of Christian hospitality. They plagued the churches Paul worked so hard to plant, and they persisted in trying to turn the faithful away from the truth.

      I. Concern for the Thessalonian Church (2 Thessalonians 3:1–5)

      Paul had experienced trouble in Thessalonica (Acts 17:1–9). Later from Corinth, he wrote to the Thessalonians to encourage and commend them, to help them understand Christ’s return and how to live Christian lives. Because Paul was struggling in Corinth, he asked the Thessalonians to pray for him, especially the spread of the gospel.

      During his stay in Thessalonica, evil workers instigated a riot that drove Paul and Silas from the city in order to protect Jason and the others who had been required by city leaders to post a bond that made them responsible for any further uproar (Acts 17:9). After Paul and his team departed, things settled down, and the church continued to grow in relative peace. Still, Paul warned the Thessalonians to be aware of troublemakers’ return.

      Despite Paul’s warning and concern for believers, he still trusted God’s power to protect the seed of the gospel planted in Thessalonica. He asked that church to pray for him as he labored against opposition in Corinth so the gospel might have a similar impact as in Thessalonica. He also encouraged the Thessalonian church to understand the faithfulness of the Lord would strengthen them to continue in faith so they more fully would express their love of and faith in Christ.

      II. Concern for the Elect Lady and Her Children (2 John 4–11)
