“The Rapture”
Friday, August 30, 2024Key Verse
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:” Matthew 25:31
Text — Matthew 25:21-33
Message
The most important event that the church is preparing for at this time is the rapture of the saints. The rapture is the catching away of friends of Jesus to meet with Him in the air when He comes to take them home. We should prepare and be ready for the rapture because Jesus didn’t tell us when He will be coming back. He only told us that He has gone to prepare a place for us and He will come to take us home.
Sadly, those who will go with Jesus in the rapture are only born again Christians that patiently wait for Christ’s return. Jesus told us that it won’t be easy to wait for Him because a lot of people would have gotten tired and the journey would become stressful but if we take advantage of His grace, we will be able to wait till He returns. A wise Christian would be praying for grace now and doing all that Jesus wants so that He will be able to go with Him at the rapture.
