Blue Letter Bible

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal [must] put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put
on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O
death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? The sting of
death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. But thanks [be] to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my
beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of
the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1
Corinthians 15:51-58)
In an instant, the saints of the Christian faith will be
caught up in the air to meet their Lord in wonderful glory. What an incredible
picture of the church ascending to their glorious home at the long anticipated
trumpet trill! Indeed, the victory over death and sin is evident through the
return of Christ and we shall reign with Him forevermore. This promise of hope
and everlasting life only brings us to a place of great thanksgiving to our
beautiful Saviour.
