THE GREATEST REUNION OF ALL

“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

Someone said “Our family reunion lasted for one month”.  The longest and greatest reunion of all will be when Jesus comes back for us and we see our loved ones.  What a glorious happy day that is going to be when we not only see our loved ones again, we will see Jesus.  How I long for that day.

Jim Hill wrote a beautiful and inspiring hymn about our Saviour coming back for us.  “What A Day That Will Be.” “There'll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear, No more sickness, no pain, no more parting over there; And forever I will be with the One who died for me, What a day, glorious day that will be.”

Are you shouting with happiness yet?  Carrie E. Beck wrote one of my favorite hymns “Face to Face with Christ, My Savior”.  “What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain.”  Are you ready to meet Jesus?

You may be saved but is your heart right with God?  When God looks into your heart, does He see things that make Him happy or does He see things that hurt Him and break His heart?  May God help us to keep our heart in right standing with Him.  O how our Heavenly Father loves you.

Are you going to be at the greatest reunion of all and see Jesus face to face?  Jesus loves you so much He died for you.
