'Come Up Here'

~~~ Revelation 11: 4-12 ~~~ Psalm 144 ~~~ Luke 20: 27-40 ~~~

Even though we may endure severe trials and tribulations
if we keep the faith and believe
we will come into the presence of the Lord.
As believers in the promise of everlasting life
we will be raised up on the last day.

It is by the breath of life from God that we will stand up on our feet.
It is then that we hope to hear the sweet voice of God say...
"Come up here."

 

 "...But after the three and a half days,
a breath of life from God entered them.
When they stood on their feet, great fear fell on those who saw them.
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, "Come up here."
So they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies looked on."

Come up here seems so easy, but until he speaks
 those words to us we cannot enter heaven.
Hearing those words from God in heaven will be sweeter than music.
 

"...those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age
and to the resurrection of the dead...
...They can no longer die,
for they are like angels;
and they are the children of God
because they are the ones who will rise."

Once you have heard the words of invitation you can no longer die.
You will join in with the children of God.
You will be counted in with the other children of God.

 

 

 

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

"...is not God of the dead, but of the living,
for to him all are alive."

 

We live and move and have our being through him.

He gives us life, sustains our life, and

will bring us into everlasting life with him.
