The Day of the Lord
The Bible is very clear that there is coming a day when Jesus Christ will return from heaven to take His saints home with Him. Jesus said in John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."
Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, " But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will be no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."
Jesus is coming back to rapture all His saints to Himself. Those who have died and knew Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be resurrected from the dead with a new body. Those who are alive at His coming will be taken up to be with Jesus also with a new body. This amazing event could happen at any time. The Bible tells us that no one knows when this will happen. So, we must be ready. We must accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord by asking Him to forgive us of all our sins and invite Him to live inside our being. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:7, "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'"
Are you ready for "The Day of the Lord?" Jesus promised to come back and He will not break any promise. Remember to "Love God, Love People, and Live it Daily" so that you will not be left behind and have to go through the tribulation.
