1 Corinthians 15:55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

These words were first written hundreds of years before Christ came to earth as a human. They are used here to remind us the death on the cross was not the end of it all!

Jesus did physically die on the cross, but it did not stop Him from carrying out His promises to us about being able to join Him in Heaven.

Nothing on earth could have stopped what happened as Jesus was nailed to the cross; this was God’s will.

God’s will is that we can join Him in heaven – make your choice now.

1 Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

The words given to the church at Corinth were slightly different, bringing home the fact this would all be over as quick as we can blink!

God does not want people to suffer; this being the kindest way of taking believers away – in an instant rather than a long drawn out affair.

God’s love continues to be shown even in the worst circumstance. Allow Him to show you His personal love for you – and then tell others about it!

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Jesus also told the disciples how we would go to join Him in Heaven; He was taken up in a cloud with much joy from Heaven.

We will be taken up without warning, signifying we do not have foreknowledge of the time. We will be taken up together as one church body.

Christ wants us to be together – but it will only be those who do believe and trust in Christ because this is His personal gift to us!
