Words of Comfort

We'd all like to believe that we'll be alive when Christ returns. But what happens if we die before Jesus comes back? Is it all over for us? Will we see our loved ones again? When? What will we be like? In today's text, the Apostle Paul tells us not having the knowledge of our hope makes us sorrow like those who have no hope at all. But understanding the truth changes the way we think, behave, and live. As believers, we know there's a great reunion day coming when Jesus descends back to the earth. How does knowing he's returning change how you will live today? 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Matthew 4:30,31; 1 Corinthians 15:51; Revelation 11 Pastor Chuck Jones    Church of the Open Bible    Pomona, California
