He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;16. and gives various instructions; 23. and so concludes the epistle. Rejoice The Greek word for "rejoice" is "χαίρω" (chairō), which conveys a sense of joy, gladness, and delight. In the context of the early Christian church, this command to rejoice is not merely an emotional response but a deliberate choice to find joy in the Lord, regardless of circumstances. Historically, the Thessalonian church faced persecution and trials, yet Paul exhorts them to maintain a posture of joy. This joy is rooted in the assurance of salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to transcend their immediate hardships. The call to rejoice is a reminder that Christian joy is not dependent on external situations but is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and a reflection of the believer's relationship with Christ.
