THE GREATEST FAMILY REUNION

"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
King James Version

Jim Hill sings one of my favorite hymns "WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE". I love the words in this hymn. "There will be no sorrows there And no more burdens to bear No more sickness and, no more 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".

Esther Kerr Rusthoi wrote the beautiful and heart touching hymn "IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL". "Oft times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear, We're tempted to complain, to murmur and despair; But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away, All tears forever over in God's eternal day. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus, Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ; One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase, So bravely run the race till we see Christ."

Not only will we have the privilege, joy and happiness of being with our precious Saviour, we are going to have the greatest family reunion there has ever been or ever will be. Are you shouting with joy and happiness yet? O how I love Jesus.  

Are you going to be at that family reunion? Has there ever been a time when you admitted you were a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour? if not, I urge you to do it right now before it is too late. Jesus loves you so much He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross. He paid that debt for your sins and for my sins that we could never have paid. You are loved by the Saviour of the world. He will be the greatest Friend you will ever have and He will never leave you, not even for one minute. What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!
