“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,” – 1 Thessalonians 4:16
When I read this verse, I envision the majesty and glory of the Lord descending from the heavens, a powerful proclamation that resonates through all of creation.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 reminds us of the hope and assurance we have in Christ’s return. This promise serves as a source of comfort for believers, reinforcing the truth that death is not the end, but a transition to eternal life. As we await this momentous event, we are called to live in a way that honors God, sharing the good news of salvation with those around us.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the promise of Your return and the hope we have in You. Help us to live each day in anticipation of Your coming, sharing Your love and truth with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
