HOPE – that becomes reality

Today's chapter is John 11.

Jesus is not dead he lives. Jesus lives in us by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus has been behind the holy curtain and shed his blood on the altar for all our sins and law transgressions. It is done It is finished. The next thing is the thickening of God's church on earth us.

Read the letter to the Hebrews

A few days ago we celebrated Easter, the death and resurrection of Jesus.

THE POWER OF DEATH IS BROKEN.

Read Isaiah 53

We have a living faith and a living hope that when we are to leave this earth, God has prepared a place for us in eternity. We will live forever even though we die our innermost being lives on for all eternity.

We have received eternal life is placed with Jesus in Heaven, our names are indiscreet in the book of life by God personally.

We are moving from this earth to the heavenly mansions!

Jesus says:
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, EVEN IF HE DIES, SHALL LIVE. AND WHOSOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE. John 11:25-26

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED!
BELIEVE IN GOD AND BELIEVE IN ME. IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS. IF NOT, WOULD I HAVE SAID THAT I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU? AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND TAKE YOU TO MYSELF, THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO. John 14:1-3

Do you not rejoice? I am making everything ready for us dear friends.

Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: NOW, DEAR BROTHERS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO A CHRISTIAN AFTER DEATH, SO THAT YOU MAY NOT SORROW AS THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOPE. WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS ​​DIED AND THEN BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL ALSO BRING ALL THE CHRISTIANS WHO ARE DEAD IN FAITH IN CHRIST BACK TO LIFE TOGETHER WITH THE RESURRECTED JESUS. THIS WE SAY TO YOU BY THE WORD OF THE LORD OURSELVES, THAT WE WHO ARE ALIVE AND WHO ARE STILL SURVIVED UNTIL THE LORD COMES BACK SHALL NOT PRECEDE THEM WHO ARE IN THE GRAVES. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thess. 4:13-18

The Methodist songwriter, J. M. Black, describes it in one of his songs
“When the heavenly trumpet shall sound upon the earth”: On that wonderful morning, all shall blossom anew, Christ’s dead shall go forth in radiance When the multitude that he purchased shall be caught up with him in the clouds to share the kingdom with him, I am there.

WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS, WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS,
WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS, AND WHEN THE BOOK OF LIFE IS CHARGED I AM THERE!

So comfort one another with these words. 1 Thess. 4:18
Jesus broke the power of death, that we might live—yes, have eternal life
