Not too many things in life are guaranteed. If
you have a job today, you might not have one tomorrow. If you are
healthy today, you might be sick on tomorrow. If you have made money in
the stock market, who knows what will happen tomorrow? If you receive a
'guarantee' from a salesperson, it always comes with a host of
conditions. Your guarantee will expire in so many days, or you will void
it by misusing the product or the manufacturer may decide to change
the rules. How about the manufacturer going out of business? We have
been under the same management in God through Jesus Christ for over 2000
years!! He is not going anywhere. He promised us in His Word that he
would never leave us or forsake us. That is a guarantee that you can be
sure of. God is sitting on the throne and His Son is sitting on the
right hand of Him. When they make a move...they will be coming to bring
us
home to be with them.
(I Thess. 4:16-17) "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: 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." Paul wants us to know that God has done something in this text
called "what is to come," which stands for all God's promised about the
future but especially for God's promises of eternal life, the reality of
heaven, and the resurrection of the dead when Jesus comes again.
