After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 NIV
One day there is going to be a trumpet call The trumpet call of God will be heard! The archangel has his tune picked out and his instrument shined.
Those who have died and gone to be with Jesus will meet their resurrected bodies in the air. We, the children of God who are alive at the time, will join them. We will never again be away from the Lord Jesus!
Dear Friend, that is what we are waiting for! That is what our faith is built upon. That is the answer to all our problems! That is our victory and our prize.
Where Jesus is there is peace. Where Jesus is there is joy. Where Jesus is there is comfort. Where Jesus is there is love.
You and I will never again feel the pain of rejection. You and I will feel no more pain. You and I won't have to worry anymore. Our fears will be removed. Our sorrows will be erased. Our bank accounts will balance. Our tears will be forever wiped dry.
When the trumpet call of God sounds, you and I will be leaving. Oh, it will be a glorious day! Our eternity of blessings will have begun. We will sit at the feet of Jesus and praise His name. We will shine in the light of the Holiness of God. Our faces will be radiant as we share in the glory of Heaven!
And, for the first 10,000 years or so, we will feed at the greatest banquet the imagination has ever known. We will meet all the saints of old and be reunited with those we love who knew the Lord!
It will be a great time. I trust you will be there. Invitations have been sent. Have you RSVP'd?
