Are You Ready To Meet Jesus In The Air?

Greetings Reader

​

The women went to the tomb on Resurrection Sunday expecting to prepare the body of Jesus for burial. His body wasn't there. Instead, they met an angel who told them that Jesus had risen from the dead and that He would meet His disciples at a predetermined place.

Our Lord has also told us about another meeting that is coming.

“Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17

Are you ready to meet Jesus in the air? That's a day I am looking forward to. I hope you are as well.

I know there are Christians who say they “hope” they are going to heaven. Others aren't sure about it at all. But we don't have to live wondering whether Jesus has saved us.

When we put our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross, believe that He rose from the dead, and commit our lives to Him, we can have confidence that we belong to Christ and that He is coming for us.

Jesus also calls us to live for Him and obey His Word. That means love, forgiveness, and obedience should increasingly characterize our lives—not as a way to earn salvation, but because we belong to Him.

If you aren't sure where you stand with the Lord, or if you have questions about any of this, email me and let's talk about it. I would be glad to hear from you.

Enjoy today's devotion.

God Bless,
Robin

The Joy Of Walking In The Light Of The Lord Greetings Reader Psalm 89 serves as a wonderful declaration of praise. Consider these three verses. They set the tone for the Psalm and shine a light on the unfailing love and faithfulness of the Lord. “I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.” Psalm 89:1“Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.” Psalm 89:2 “All heaven will praise your great...

How Wonderful When We Live Together In Harmony Greetings Reader How would you describe a church or family that lives in harmony? I ran across an illustration that gives a great picture of what harmony looks like, and I included it in today's devotion. Think about a choir. Sopranos sing the high notes. Basses anchor the choir with the low notes. Tenors and altos fill in the middle with their own unique parts. They aren't all singing the same notes, but they are all singing the same song....

When You Really Want to See Jesus Greetings Reader Zacchaeus had a problem. He wanted to see Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So this wealthy chief tax collector did something rather undignified. He ran ahead and climbed a tree. “He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.” Luke 19:3–4 Zacchaeus was willing to overcome an obstacle just to...
