Wednesday, July 7, 2021 An Eternal Impact "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?" (1 Thessalonians 2:19 NKJV). When the Rapture takes place, not only will we meet the Lord in the air, but we'll also rejoin friends and loved ones who have already gone on to be with the Lord. Isn't that wonderful to know? If you've lost loved ones who were believers, then you will see them again. That's a great comfort for anyone who has ever lost someone they cherished in life. Death is the great separator, but Jesus Christ is the great reconciler. Jesus will bring together those whom death has separated. The Bible also reveals that we'll not only be reunited with Christian relatives and loved ones, but we'll also be reunited with those who trusted in Jesus through our witness. For example, the apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Thessalonica, "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?" (1 Thessalonians 2:19 NKJV). Paul was saying that his spiritual children would be his crown of exaltation in the Lord's presence when He returns. From this it would appear that in Heaven, each of us will have those whom we helped to believe in Jesus grouped around us. Think about that. |
