In the book of 2 Thessalonians Paul addressed the church at Thessalonica. Like a cluster of grapes, this body of believers was caught in the winepress of persecution and affliction. Yet as these Christians yielded to God they began to produce a fine wine full of faith, fragrant with love, with a sweet aroma that spread to all the churches in Asia Minor. In this letter Paul did not focus on the winepress as much as he did the wine. The faith, love, and perseverance created as byproducts of pressure.
