DAILY READINGS: Deut. 25 to 26:15; Jon. 3-4; Luke 13:1-21
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. 1 Thessalonians 4:16
What a comfortless world we live in! For the believer, the heavens
are not as brass, but the world certainly is. Thank God for His care!
The subject of our Lord’s return, which Paul speaks of in this passage,
is sure, and therefore utt erly eff ective in the comfort it bestows.
“So shall we ever be with the Lord!” May God give us the grace to
fully enjoy the surety of the Lord’s coming and its practical eff ect on
our lives! —Mark Fenn
My Father’s house on high, home of my soul how near,
At times to faith’s foreseeing eye, the golden gates appear!
—James Montgomery
