Be Watchful, But Busy

Be Watchful, But Busy

Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Focus Verses: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17  "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.  First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves.  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 and remain with Him forever."

Did you know that Jesus is coming back to this earth one day?  He's coming back to take us to heaven, but only those who are His children.  The Bible teaches that the rapture of the church is the next big event on God's timeline.  Jesus could come back at any time.  I am looking forward to that event.  But I'm not just sitting waiting.  We should be busy telling others about this big event, so that as many people as possible will be with us in heaven.

The Bible says in Ephesians 2:4-7  That God is looking forward to us getting to heaven, because He want to show us grace, kindness and how much He loves us.  I hope you are watching for His return, but I also hope you are busy tell others of this great promise of Jesus' return.
