How Close Are We to a REVIVAL in the Air?

Introduction: We all are traveling on these three roads in life. Can you imagine what the rapture is going to be like? Just think about being reunited with your loved ones in the sky. That will be a happy day!

1. The Road called Preparation! (1Thess 4:13,14,15)

“13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.”

Did you notice that Paul identifies with those who were alive? That includes us! Where are you in this road? How far? How much farther?

2. The road called Evacuation! (1Thess 4:16,17)

“16For 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: 17Then 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.”

Jesus will come in the air. We will go up to meet him. It is going to be a hallelujah homecoming!

3. The road called Destination! (1Thess 4:18)

“18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

Isn’t it comforting to know we will be in heaven with our loved ones and our Lord.

Conclusion: The song writer put it, “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see…”
