For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
Paul compares fatherhood to teaching the gospel to the people of Thessolonica. When sharing the gospel and working with new Christians, it is important to be encouraging and comforting while at the same time urging them to live Christlike lives as children of God.
Lord, thank you for being our Father and offering us loving patience. Please help us to treat new Christians as you treat us. Amen.
