Let us raise our voices to the Lord.

If the Lord Jesus has done something in your life, if He has changed you, you have the freedom to speak out and tell the world!!!

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 constantly remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know your election, brothers beloved by God, 5 for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, just as you know what kind of people we were among you for your sake. 6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all those in Macedonia and Achaia who believed. 8 For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith in God has spread, so that we have no need to say anything. 9 For they themselves report about us how you received us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

Let's imagine we're in the middle of a hectic sporting event, and amidst the shouting, people are shouting even louder as if it would lead their teams to victory. Do you know believers who bring that same passion to speaking about Christ and his exploits?

Let's remember the apostle Paul in his letter to the brothers in Thessalonica. Seeing the passion of that congregation, Paul rejoiced greatly at their passion. Let's remember that that city was a busy seaport, and that's why the church captured the attention of the whole world. In this way, travelers would hear the gospel and then return to their places, take the message and share it with their communities.

"For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth." Paul somehow praised the brothers and sisters and projected a powerful image with words. When he speaks of "sounding," he refers to a sound that projects with great power, like a trumpet blast or thunder. Paul saw the Thessalonians as living megaphones.

Today we have the same responsibility to share with the world who the Lord is and what he has done for us. Let us be like the brothers in Thessalonica, shouting the wonders of the Lord from the rooftops.
