Paul is burdened to encourage the fledgeling church of Thessalonica. They had received the Gospel in the face of much pressure from their families, the godless culture and the unbelieving religious leaders. Paul had only been with them for three sabbath days before he had to leave town under cover of darkness. When the unbelievers could not find Paul, they dragged Jason, a new believer, out of his home and accused of receiving Paul and identifying with him. In all of this, the Thessalonians church needed biblical perspective so that they could press on for Christ. After a gentle introduction, Paul began to remind them of and commend them for their faith.
