BELIEVING LEAVING

On Easter, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.  He set the example and promised us He would come back for us.  So we set aside the Sunday after Passover to rejoice with song and the Word.  Here are some of my favorite Easter songs on You Tube.  Maybe they are yours too.

Christians evangelize by word and deed. We tell others that Jesus loved us and died for us but in the end those who do not accept His free gift will be judged!  Judgement may scare some into heaven!  We are supposed to encourage each other by looking to that day when Jesus will come back and we will have peace on earth because the government will be on His shoulders!  The details are ours to know of His second coming so that we may encourage one another!

The Day of the Lord

1 Thessalonians

5 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord [a]will come just like a thief in the night. 3 While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then [b]destruction [c]will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you [d]like a thief; 5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; 6 so then let us not sleep as [e]others do, but let us be alert and [f]sober. 7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night. 8 But since we are of the day, let us be [g]sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. 11 Therefore [h]encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

Also in II Peter 3:3-6

“Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation. For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the Word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.” 

So rejoice Christians and let others know that they too can be saved by putting their faith in Jesus!
