THE GREATEST PACKAGE OF ALL
“For 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: Then 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4: 16 - 18
King James Version
I have had several packages delivered to me by UPS and by Purolator. Yesterday as I waiting for another package to be delivered to me, I realized that the greatest package of all, a package that is going to be sent to us from the heart of our loving Heavenly Father, could arrive before I received the package that UPS was delivering. One day, God is going to say to Jesus “Son, it is time. Go and get your waiting bride.”
God Himself is going to ship the greatest package of all to us as He sends His Son back to earth to take us home to be with Him for all eternity. I don’t know which one of them will be more excited. Our Heavenly Father will watch as His precious Son finally receives the honor that He so richly deserves. When God sees every person bowing their knee and hears every person confessing that His beloved Son is Lord, I think He will be so happy and so excited that He will give a loud victorious shout of joy!
Our precious Saviour’s heart will be filled with an overwhelming joy and love as He comes back to get His bride to take them home to be with Him for all eternity. I think if we will listen with our hearts we will be able to hear the angels rejoicing. Bells of victory will echo in Heaven as they celebrate the homecoming of the Bridegroom and His bride. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
