I’ll Be Back

/0 Comments/in /by

Do you know what the next great event in human civilization is going to be? Its the second coming of Jesus Christ to take His people to be with Him in Heaven. Wont that be exciting?

I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” The New Testament mentions this second coming over 300 times. It was clearly an event He wanted us to be ready for.

How do you and I prepare for Jesus Christs return? First of all, its essential to have a good relationship with Him, and know Him as our Lord and Savior.

After that, we need to be faithful to the calling He has on our lives. Seconds before He ascended to heaven, after He had promised that He would come back again, Jesus said: “Go and evangelize the world.” That was the major thing on his mind as Jesus left us on earth.

If Jesus came back today, would He find you and me faithfully sharing the message of Good News with the people we know? If not, why dont you recommit yourself to the Great Commission right now?

Remember, the Lord is coming back. In the meantime, its our calling, and privilege, to lead others into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

When We Get To Heaven What Will We Be like? Will We Become Angels?

Have you ever watched a movie, or a TV show that showed Heaven? Maybe they showed people with wings and a harp sitting on a cloud, or even people who had died and turned into angels coming back to earth to help people and earn their wings. But, this is not what the Bible tells us is true at all.

Yes, Angels do exist and they DO come to earth and help us, but they are not people. The Bible tells us all kinds of stories about Angels coming to earth, helping people, delivering messages, and even fighting with other spirits to protect us!


Some people get confused on this because Jesus said something in Matthew 22:30 about us being like Angels, but what He was saying is that we, like the Angels, wont get married when we get to Heaven, He wasnt saying that we turn into Angels, or even that were like Angels in any other way. Angels are beings in their own right, just like People are Human Beings, Angels are Angels. God made People and Angels very different. If God wanted us to all be like Angels, there wouldnt have been any reason for Him to make us in the first place.

But, the Bible tells us what we will be like! After Jesus returns God will bring back all the Christians who died, even people who died THOUSANDS of years ago! And Hell make their bodies perfect, better than we ever were before! Our body will be like Jesus body after he rose from the dead!


1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 Says We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, 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. Then we will be with the Lord forever.

And Philippians 3:21 says Jesus will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like His own.


So, for us to know what Our new body will be like, we need to know what Jesus new body is like. Lets take a look at what the Bible said about it. When Jesus rose from the grave after He died for us, He said to His friends in Luke 24:39 . . .

“Look at My hands, look at My feet, its really Me! Touch Me and you will see that I am not a ghost. Because ghosts dont have bodies as you see that I do.

Jesus had a Real body that people could touch and see; He walked on Earth and ate with His friends! The Bible also tells us that Jesus had some amazing abilities,He could appear to his friends in a locked room, He could disappear when He wanted,and when Jesus left the Earth to go to Heaven He wasnt held down by gravity,but He went up into the air. This was called His ascension.

Thats right,He flew!

Now, we have to remember that Jesus is God, and because He is, He may be able to do things that we arent able to do. But, the Bible tells us in many places,like the one you read above,that we will have bodies like Jesus,so its very possible that we will be able to do some of these very same things,and who knows how much more well be able to do!

The Promise

/1 Comment/in /by

The promise of the Messiah was made hundreds of years before he ever came. There were a few who believed, and they were waiting for Him. Among them were Simeon and Anna. The experts say Simeon was way into his 80s. And Anna was 84. They were getting pretty old! But they spent every single day in the temple in Jerusalem, praying and waiting, waiting, waiting.

People no doubt mocked them. You can imagine everybody saying, “Yeah, yeah, youre going to see the Messiah. Sure, youre going to hold him in your arms, Simeon.” But Simeon and Anna didnt waver in unbelief. And one day they were rewarded for their faithfulness. The Messiah did finally come into the temple. Simeon did hold Him in his arms as a baby. What an incredible day that must have been!

Weve got to be faithful, too. We cant give in to those jeering voices in our heads that keep us from proclaiming Jesus Christ! And one day we, too, will be rewarded for our faithfulness. Those who are here on Earth waiting for the Messiah will see Him come again.

Revelation 1:7 says, “Look, he is coming in the clouds, and every eye will see him.” What a glorious day that will be and weve got to tell people about it. Many people have no idea that Jesus is coming again and those who love Him will go home to be with Him in heaven.
