Skywatch Friday

The combination of clouds and vapor trails from commercial jets formed a cross in the sky one day.  I was reminded that there will come a day when the One who died on a cross for us will come again.  In fact, the Bible tells us that, "The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God."  And the dead in Christ will rise first.  The we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud to meet the Lord in the air.  And thus we shall always be with the Lord." (I Thessalonians 4:16-17)  We are all going to spend eternity somewhere.  Those who have acknowledged that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God and we are all sinners in need of a Savior, asked Christ to forgive them of their sin and invited Him into their life, will "always be with the Lord."  Those who refuse to believe that Christ is the Savior and refuse the gift of eternal life will suffer a different fate.  The Bible tells us that "...Death and Hades delivered up the dead who weree in them.  And they were judged each one according to his works.  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death.  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."  We are all going to die once.  Those who have been born again, spiritually, will live forever with the Lord.  Those who refuse God's offer, will die a second, spiritual death and spend eternity in the lake of fire.  The choice is ours to make.   For the believer, the day that the Lord comes will be a Glorious Day and the first of an eternity of Unclouded Days.  We just have to realize that there is No God Like Jehovah.  Have a blessed week-end.
