One of the things I truly enjoyed when I was growing up is pure Maple syrup. Every spring we made Maple syrup from the sap that we collected from the Maple trees on our farm. The process was a lot of work but it was very rewarding. When mom made scones and we dipped them in Maple syrup, it was always good to the last drop. This book of 1 Thessalonians has been a good book. I hope you have learned Bible principles from it that have changed your life. Today we will look at Paul’s concluding comments and find more principles for living. Like Maple syrup, this book is good to the last word.

Paul closes this letter with three comments that are helpful to us as well.
