Imagine one second you’re here on Earth going about your business. And then, in the twinkling of an eye you’re in the heavenly places with God.
Would that be the coolest thing or what?!
Sound silly? Sound far-fetched? Or ridiculous? Well, I’ll take that kind of silly, far-fetched, ridiculous notion any day of the week. Because…there is a God in heaven, and He does love me. And He will be coming back one day to stop all this chaos and confusion. And when He does, I want to be on His team.
In the twinkling of an eye.
This is the Truth. You were created. You didn’t just magically materialize. And neither did anyone else who ever lived. Because every person on Earth is a creation of God. But there’s a problem with people. They’ve been given a will of their own. And the vast majority of them choose to be their own god. They choose to fall for the lies that say we can only really “know” what we can apprehend with our five senses.
And that just isn’t sensible.
The Bible includes a description for that moment when Jesus returns for his followers. Paul says “for this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” So, in other words, that’s when we’ll receive that glorious body I mentioned before. And we’ll know the full meaning of the passage “Oh death, where is your sting? Oh Hades, where is your victory?” We’ll be alive to God and alive forevermore from that point.
And it’s not a silly thing to believe all this…unless it’s not the truth.
But I’ve seen an insurmountable and irrefragable body of evidence in my lifetime. From manuscripts of ancient Jewish and Christian documents to archaeological evidence to prophetic evidence to statistical and scientific evidence…the creation reaches out to the Creator.
My goal is now to “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…” knowing that I’ll fail here and there. But also knowing that it won’t be in vain.
Jesus is coming back.
In Faith, Hope, and Love,
