“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.” I Thessalonians 4:16 (NLT) Jesus is coming to make things right and to transform us completely into his image. This is a cornerstone of the New Testament worldview; that we look forward to the restoration of all things, especially his people. This is why our sacrifice and sufferings feel lighter than they would without him.
Application: pick one or two words from the verse that help you and repeat it to yourself throughout the day or week.
