Thursday: The Everlasting Encounter
Read 1 Corinthians 15:51-55. What “mystery” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) is Paul explaining?
Some popular preachers suggest that this “mystery” () is the “secret rapture” of the church, which is to occur seven years prior to Christ’s glorious second coming. In this “secret rapture” faithful Christians are suddenly, quietly and secretly, whisked off to heaven while everyone else remains here wondering what happened to them. People might suddenly find themselves in a driverless car, because the driver was raptured to heaven, and all that “remains is their clothes.” The 16-volume bestselling Left Behind series, turned into four movies, promoted this false teaching, exposing millions to it.

Of course, no biblical passage endorses such an artificial distinction between the rapture and the Second Coming. The “mystery” Paul is referring to is simply the transformation of the living righteous to join the resurrected righteous at Christ’s second coming. This is the “rapture.” There is no “secret rapture” because the Second Coming will be visible to all living human beings (Revelation 1:7), and both the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of the living ones will occur at the sound of the trumpet at Christ’s return (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
Christ’s second coming will bring about the most amazing encounter ever. The living righteous are changed “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52). At the voice of God, they are glorified; now they are made immortal and with the risen saints are caught up to meet their Lord in the air. Angels “gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:31, NKJV).
“Little children are borne by holy angels to their mothers’ arms. Friends long separated by death are united, nevermore to part, and with songs of gladness ascend together to the City of God.” — Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 645.
| This is such an amazing promise, something so different from anything that we have experienced that it’s hard to grasp. But think about the vastness of the cosmos, as well as the incredible complexity of life here. Creation itself testifies to God’s amazing power. What does all this teach us about the power of God to translate the living and raise the dead at Jesus’ second coming? |
Amen!

Growing in Grace [How to See God’s Grace Perfectly] #cuts #ANNInDepth
How can we see God’s grace perfectly? Who are you looking to in order to grow in His grace? This #cut clip from the video, “Legalism vs. Grace [Navigating Between the Two]” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtU0Hzk91ng&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo8z8roW1briblbYYPS-HpyE&index=21, explains how we can see God's grace clearly. We all know that God's grace is sufficient, as the Bible says, but most of the time, we can't see it because of the many distractions around us. One of the most effective ways to grow perfectly in God’s grace is to immerse our minds and hearts in His Word. As we do, we will surely see genuine transformation in our lives. Watch the video to learn how to see and live by God's grace every day. ———————————————————————————— The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.
