When Jesus Returns

[S] 1 Thessalonians 4:17 --
 17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

[O] The picture of meeting Jesus when He returns is pretty awesome, beating any Hollywood movies.  Not sure exactly how it'll look physically but meeting Him in the air (watch out Michael Jordan) is definitely going to be an experience of a life time before we spend the eternity with Him.  At this point, the whole world will be aware of the returned King.

[A] In light of this, all that goes on here on earth seems so irrelevant.  This does not mean I will be lazy for the rest of my life but it means I will not put too much emphasis on what we do here on earth in contrast to preparing for the eternity I'll spend with God.

[P] Dear Father, there are so much worries in this world I live in -- some for good reasons -- but in light of this passage even those need to be surrendered.  I want to live the rest of my life expecting the great return of Jesus who will take me up into His arms in the most awesome way.  In gratitude and anticipation I pray in Your name.  Amen.
