the dead shall rise

My husband preached about how fast it takes a eye to blink. Too fast to count. I have thought of  that. When the trumpet sounds, next thing we know we will be stepping up to greet our Jesus.  I think of my father in law standing up to sight in a elk. Next thing he saw was his Jesus. 

I have just pondered this over and over lately. Our Jesus will return as he promised 

 We need to be ready! It will be instantly, make your preparation now!

Eternity is a long hot time to have " I should have's" listen to the call when it went out. I should not have put it off. Tomorrow may be too late.

 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
