A very little girl heard about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His raising up those whose bodies are in the grave, and their spirits are with the Lord, and changing all the believers who are alive on the earth when He comes, and giving them bodies of glory. So one day when her mother was sick and moving about the house with great pain, she came to her and said:
“O, Mamma, won’t you be glad when the Lord comes, and you get a new body?”
Was not that a sweet word of comfort, leading that mother’s mind to the “blessed hope,” and to what was awating her in glory?
All who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will be caught up to meet Him at His coming, and so he forever with the Lord. He will change their bodies and give them bodies of glory like His.
“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).
