A Bit of A Map
Scripture Passage:  1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

 

Slide 1

The Return of the King

Slide 2

Sleep and Death
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death

Slide 3

Grieve, but with hope
so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind,
who have no hope.

Slide 4

Resurrection past, present, future
14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus
those who have fallen asleep in him.

Slide 5

Is this a concern for you?
 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

Slide 6

King comes down, we rise to meet
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.

Slide 7

Go to meet the coming King
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

Slide 8

Where will we be?
and so we will be with the Lord forever.

Slide 9

A community of hope
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
