HERE COMES THE KING

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first”  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 KJV

When a bride starts to walk down the aisle to meet the man she is going to marry, the organ starts playing”Here Comes the Bride” and everyone stands.  When Jesus comes back for us with a shout, we aren’t going to stand to our feet; we are going to bow on our knees.  What a day of rejoicing that will be!

O how Jesus loves us.  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that we will be with Jesus for all eternity?  There will be no more crying, no wars, no shouting and no beating of children.  We will have peace and happiness forever when our precious Saviour comes back for us.

Jim Hill wrote the beautiful hymn “What A Day That Will Be”. When I sing this hymn about Jesus coming back for us I get tears of joy and happiness in my eyes.  Even now, as I type this devotion, I am overwhelmed with love for my precious Saviour. 

What kind of love is this that Jesus would allow them to crucify Him for our sins?  It is an amazing unconditional love for you and for me that comes from His loving heart.  Jesus loves us unconditionally.  He loved us yesterday.  He loves us today and He will love us tomorrow.

Have you got it yet?  Jesus loves you.  Yes, I mean YOU.  O dear friend, Jesus loves you so much He died for you.  No one loves you like He loves you.  Pastor, He loves and appreciates you.
