This morning the Emergency Broadcast System was heard on my dad’s TV. My kids asked what it was. I told them that maybe it was the trumpet sound that will tell us when Jesus has come to take us home. They looked at me with wide eyes. Callie looked shocked and scared. I asked her if she was scared to see Jesus return. She said a little bit. Liv then told her that this is not our real home, and that she is not scared. Gavin asked if it was time.
I said not yet, but soon. They are getting to know Jesus.
In this parable, Jesus shows us another glimpse into what it will be like on the day we return home…
Matthew 22:29-33
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
I look forward to going home, until then I will do His work and witness, minister, and disciple all in the name of the Lord.
Be blessed today and share the Gospel with someone.
Amen.
Shalom.
