DAILY READINGS: Joshua 5:13 to 6:27; Isaiah 2; Luke 22:1-30

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Our long-expected change from mortality to immortality will take place “in a moment". The Greek word for a moment is “en atomo”, meaning in an atom of time. In the smallest possible amount of time, we will be changed at the trumpet’s blast. How exciting when our mortal bodies shall put on immortality. “We shall be changed.” As we await the moment of transformation, let us live as those who have experienced the change of the new birth. —Arnot McIntee

The Lord Himself shall come, and shout the quickening word;
Thousands shall answer from the tomb, “Forever with the Lord”—Anon.
