An Acorn Becomes an Oak!

Our Lord Jesus told us that when he comes, we won't go up to meet him ahead of his followers who have already died.  With a loud command and with the shout of the chief angel and a blast of God's trumpet, the Lord will return from heaven. Then those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life.   Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky. From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever.

1 Thessalonians 4: 15 - 17

The preacher was standing beside an open grave making final comments before the body would be buried.  He then made a remark I have never heard anyone say at a funeral.  He said that if Jesus were to return at this very moment our dear friend “Ruth Anne” would come back to life right before our eyes, and then we would join her in meeting the Lord together in the sky!  

The next time you attend a funeral of a follower of Jesus, remind yourself that when Jesus returns His disciples will resurrect from the grave just like Jesus did! You see, you are an acorn and your New Body will be a mighty oak tree!  There is no oak that did not begin as an acorn and there is no human eternal New Body that did not begin as a baby here on earth.

When God creates a little baby and man aborts the process, it is an offense against the Almighty who makes every human to give Him glory and honor while living on this earth!

Here on earth you are an acorn, but as a follower of Jesus Christ you are destined to be a Mighty Oak!  

“Lord Jesus, remind me again today that You will return to this earth and that those who are followers of You will receive a New Body and live with You forever!  Amen.”
