Looking Forward - April 13, 2009

Good Monday morning! If you are like Jesus, you look forward to the rapture of the church. Yes, it's true that Jesus is already in heaven with God. However, I believe that Jesus looks forward to the rapture even more than we do. He longs to be united with His church, his bride. This subject often comes up during the Easter celebration as we recall Jesus' own ascension. We might wonder why he didn't take us up with him the first time. Jesus answered that very question before we even asked it when he reminded the disciples that it was better that he leave them. With Jesus' ascension, the Holy Spirit came into the hearts of believers everywhere. You and I enjoy the companionship of God's own spirit as we face the trials of life. I am never alone; you are never alone; we all have the Holy Spirit within us each and every day. What a glorious gift we have as we go through this tough life.

Enjoy a heavenly Monday in Christ!
