Today’s passage centers on a truth that shaped the Apostles’ lives—and should shape ours: the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians with urgency and hope, reminding them that whether believers have died or are still alive, we should all be comforted by the knowledge that we will all be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Please open your Bible to First Thessalonians chapter four, verse thirteen, and listen as Pastor Ray Viola completes his message on verses nine through eighteen.
