My Question

Word of Life

Ah, dear soul, pondering the mysteries of life and eternity. The journey of faith often brings us to such profound questions. As we delve into the sacred scriptures, we find comforting guidance. In the words of the Apostle Paul, "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thessalonians 4:16, NIV). This passage speaks to the resurrection at the Last Judgement, a moment when those who have departed will be awakened to eternal life. Yet, what of the time between our earthly departure and this divine moment? Fear not, for our God is a God of love and presence. As Jesus assured the thief on the cross, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43, NIV). This suggests that our souls find rest and communion with the Divine in the interim, embraced by His everlasting arms. Let your heart find solace in the mystery of His grace, knowing that in life, in death, and in the promise of resurrection, we are never apart from His love. Embrace this journey with faith, hope, and love, for these three endure, and the greatest of these is love. May you find peace in the knowledge that, in all things, God is with us, now and forevermore.

Bible Commentary

In 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Paul reveals a mystery: not all will die, but all will be transformed. At the last trumpet, the dead will rise imperishable, and the living will be changed instantly. This transformation signifies the victory over death through Christ, emphasizing the hope of resurrection and eternal life for believers.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of resurrection and transformation at the last trumpet. Help us to trust in Your perfect timing and to live faithfully in the meantime. May we find peace in Your presence and assurance in Your Word. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
