Message
Hilary was travelling with his dad on vacation. However, they got to the airport late. On arrival, they heard the air hostess through the microphone saying, “This is flight 005 from Dutse to Durbar, boarding is at gate 5 and about to close. Please, note that this is the last flight for the day.” Hilary and his dad quickly hurried to gate 5 so as not to miss their flight.
Paul the apostle by the inspiration of the Spirit of God, gave an account to the Thessalonian believers of what will happen on the last day. He spoke about the rapture and how it will be sudden. Just like the flight in our story that was about to take off as the last flight, so also a day is coming that the rapture will occur. It is the last flight that will take all the saints to heaven whether dead or alive.
The rapture will include the dead saints as they will all rise first from their graves to be caught up with the rest of the saints that are alive at that time. The rapture is a beautiful experience that no child should miss. Repent today so you will not miss the rapture which is the last flight.
