The Greatest Event

From: Messages of God's Love: 1937

WHAT do you think might be the greatest event to happen at any time?

The Lord Jesus died on Calvary’s Cross, died for you, died for me. He rose again from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of God in heaven, and is coming again according to His promise,

“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:3³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3).

We do not know when He is coming, but He has said,

“Behold, I come quickly.” Rev. 3:11¹¹Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Revelation 3:11).

The details of what He will do when He comes are found in 1 Thess. 4:11-17,¹¹And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; ¹²That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 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. 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. (1 Thessalonians 4:11‑17) (get your Bible and read these verses).

He will raise all the dead, who have believed in Him, not the unbelievers; He will change all the living Christians who are really His, not mere professors, only true believers, and call all the saved ones up to heaven, to be with. Him forever, leaving behind all the unsaved, those who have not accepted Him as their own Saviour. If He comes today, are you ready?

“Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when. He cometh shall find watching.” Luke 12:37³⁷Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. (Luke 12:37).
