He Will Return

Good Morning!! Paul gives us one of the clearest descriptions in Scripture, of the last day. First, the Lord Himself descends from heaven. This is not a "spiritual" visitation, or symbolic return,...the Lord, Jesus Christ Himself, will return in bodily form, descending from Heaven just as He went into Heaven. And not a single one of His children will miss His spectacular and victorious, descent. The dead in Christ will rise first, followed by every believer who is still living,...and together they will fly! They will meet the Lord in the air.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 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 4:16-17 (NKJV)

But here is the greatest promise of all: then we will be forever with the Lord,...no more separation,...no more waiting. This is the consummation of all God has planned, for this old sin-cursed world, and every future moment the people of God will be spent in the presence of God. What comfort these words bring to the heart of each one who has long anticipated the personal presence of their Savior!

This is the magnificent expectation of every believer,...to be forever with their Lord.

 Come Lord Jesus, Come. Amen.

"Obedience is the key to having the presence of God in our lives.
If we can't obey God,...then how can we walk with Him."
