Deuteronomy 20:1-21:23; Joel 2:1-32; Luke 12:1-21
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air… 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17a NKJV
We had just begun celebrating our youngest son’s 21st birthday when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and leapt to my feet as I discovered our older daughter standing behind me. She had been in England, but secretly returned home for the celebration. What a day it will be when we meet our loved ones in the air, but greatest of all will be to see the Saviour’s face. —Janet Fleming
I’ll see the ones who went before, And we together will rejoice.
The light of God will fill that place,
While gazing on our Saviour’s face. —Janet Fleming
