When Christ returns, the trumpet sounds, and the dead in Christ arise...we, as believers will see Jesus Christ face to face...WOO-HOO!!! If that doesn't spark excitement, not sure anything will.
Why do I constantly compare my heart, actions, motives, and life to other believers??? The only comparison should be to Jesus Christ. Who came to earth, 100% man, 100% God and lived a sinless, perfect life. That's the comparison. Period.
"...in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this (mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, 'DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." I Corinthians 15:52-58 (NASB)
My heart aches for those who seek worldly gain over spiritual gain. We come in the world with nothing and leave with nothing.
Reminder to self: Be CHRIST-like. Pray for the lost.
