«For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first». 1 Thessalonians 4:16
When I was a child, I was very happy when I learned that my mother was expecting a little baby. It was a little girl! When she was born, we had a party! But a little while after she was born, my little sister got very sick and died. I cried a lot. My mother and father and my other sisters cried a lot, too.
We laid her in a little white coffin, and she was put in a grave to sleep until Jesus comes back. That was many years ago, but I still miss her.
Do you know what is my great joy? When Jesus comes back, He will call all the people who are sleeping in the grave and they will hear His voice and get up. I wonder how good it will be to hug my little sister and go to Heaven with her!
Do you also wish to be reunited with someone you loved but who has died?
Let’s practice!
Repeat the verse: “And the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16).
