I Thessalonians 4:16- “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”
We live in a condominium with other families on both sides of us and one living overhead.
On Sunday evenings, the boy upstairs practices playing his trumpet.
When he first started trumpet lessons, I admit his practice sessions were a bit annoying. However, he has either improved a lot or or we’ve just gotten used to the sounds. In either case, practice doesn’t last more than 10-15 minutes.
We used to cringe when we heard the first blast, but now I actually look forward to hearing him play around 7 p.m.
More than that, of course, I anticipate hearing the trumpet of God because it will signal the return of Jesus to earth and call together both living Christians and those who have died prior to that time.
It will be an unbelievably glorious celebration. The event of all time.
The trumpet call of God.
Now that’s something to look forward to.
Amen!
