Dear Young Christian,
As I write this page, I am sitting at a table in the drawing room of Chateau Rianduale, here in the south of France. We have just completed a happy three-day Bible conference with believers from many countries, including western Europe, eastern Europe, and Egypt. It has been a fresh reminder of a future time when all believers will meet around the Lord Jesus in heaven, “out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Revelation 5:9). If these times of togetherness on earth are so precious and edifying, what will it be to be at that meeting in the Father’s house? There we will never get tired, never be distracted by sin and self again, and there we will worship and praise forever, “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 5:12).
As you start out on another busy week, be encouraged to realize that it may end by hearing the shout that will summon us to “meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
