The New Body.

Listen from:
A VERY little girl heard about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that He will raise up those who sleep in Jesus, and chance those who remain alive till His coming, giving them all bodies of glory. So one day when his mother was quite sick and moving about the house in great pain, she came to her and said:
“O, mamma! Won’t you be glad when the Lord Jesus comes, and you will get your new body?”
Was not that a sweet word of comfort, leading that mother’s mind up to “the blessed hope,” and to think of how much was awaiting her in the future, in the glory?
All who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will be caught up to meet Him, at His coming, and so be forever with the Lord.
“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 Thess. 4:16, 1716For 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: 17Then 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).)
