We have the promise that the Lord Jesus will soon return from heaven to take us home with Him.

9 And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel. 11 Who also said to them, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven.

Acts 1:9-11

Day by day we have different opportunities to hear wonderful sounds of nature, of birds, of water, we have the great opportunity to contemplate majestic views such as a sunset or a starry night. If all this is great, imagine that great event that we will experience when Christ returns to find us.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first.

1 Thessalonians 4:16

We will hear a sound that will be recognized throughout the world, in every corner of the earth the sound of the heavenly trumpet will be heard calling all the saints to a meeting, to gather together to go with the Lord.
What will we see or contemplate? Just as it is written in the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ will descend from above to receive us in the air, first the dead in Christ and again those of us who are alive, this will be the picture that we will see from any point on the face of the earth.
In short, we will live an experience that today we may not understand but it will be an unparalleled, magnificent experience. The Word of God says that we will be physically transformed, we will continue to be clothed in an incorruptible body and that body will not feel pain, will not suffer sadness and much less illness or death. In an instant, like in the blink of an eye, we will be taken directly to the presence of God to be with him for eternity.

It is important that we encourage ourselves with these future events that the Word of God describes to us, of which we will be part of, when difficulties and those very difficult moments arise, let us think about this glorious future that awaits us and know that the best is yet to come.
