1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18
The coming of the Lord:
"Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the res of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the arch-angel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words."
These verses are SO powerful. We cannot even begin to imagine how amazing or what it will be like when we, who are still alive in Christ, will float into the clouds next to our LORD with angels and the sounds of trumpets!!!! Are you kidding me!!!???!! Wow! What a holy day that will be to be in the clouds with God!
I don't know if you guys remember Zander and Janine from Vanguard, they graduated a few years ahead of us. They are SO musically gifted and blessed it's amazing! They were friends of David's from choir and sang in chapel a few times. They have twin girls and are pregnant again, and they have devoted their life to sharing scripture through song. All their songs are directly from the word and encourage others to memorize scripture through songs! She has the most AMAZING voice! She is kind of quiet in this song, so it is hard to hear but seriously, the girl is blessed! They both have the kindest heart and the love of God just flows out of them! I love that! Anyways, they put these verses to a song and it's just beautiful. I hope you will take just a few minutes to listen to it!! Lets keep our eyes and hearts on the cross so we will continue to be alive in Christ in go up into the clouds with him! Praise the Lord!! Love Megs
this was SOOOOOOO fabulous! i almost fell over and died when he came in and started singing with her! that harmony is NOT even real! WOW! They were MADE to sing together. This was sooo beautiful. And if you watch their faces when they sing about spending forever with the Lord you can just see how that touches their hearts. I LOVE that! Thank you for sharing. I am going to go listen to it again. 8 more times. xoxo- N
