Our Scripture reading today is 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
Verse 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."
While it will be an impressive gathering in the sky, the biggest blessing to me is never being separated from the Lord. We are promised to be with the Lord forever! Can it get any better than that? Every born-again child of God will be in His presence for all eternity. This is the greatest reward of Heaven. “We shall be so with him as to have no sin to becloud our view of him: the understanding will be delivered from all the injury which sin has wrought in it, and we shall know him even as we are known.” (Spurgeon)
One day soon, we shall see our Saviour and it will not be just for a moment. It will be for all eternity. Hallelujah!!
We Shall Behold Him
The sky shall unfold
Preparing His entrance
The stars shall applaud Him
With thunders of praise
The sweet light in His eyes, shall enhance those awaiting
And we shall behold Him, then face to face
O we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory
O we shall behold Him, yes we shall behold Him
Face to face, our Saviour and Lord
