1 Thessalonians – Growing Pains

Grant Thorp

When I was a kid I remember getting terrible pains in my legs. When I went to Mum she’d just say “Don’t worry about it, they’re growing pains.” I guess she must have been right, I’m still here! Now that I’m a parent though I experience a different sort of growing pain. The sort that parents all over the world feel. The sort that causes you to ask: are the kids developing the way they should? Should he be walking by now? How many blocks should she be able to stack at this age? Why isn’t he toilet trained yet? It was this latter sort of pain that Paul felt in relation to the church in Thessalonica.
