Topic: The Last Flight
Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Key Verse: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Message
Hilary was travelling with his dad on vacation. However, they got to the airport late. On arrival, they heard the air hostess through the microphone saying, “This is flight 005 from Dutse to Durbar, boarding is at gate 5 and about to close. Please, note that this is the last flight for the day.” Hilary and his dad quickly hurried to gate 5 so as not to miss their flight.

Paul the apostle by the inspiration of the Spirit of God, gave an account to the Thessalonian believers of what will happen on the last day. He spoke about the rapture and how it will be sudden. Just like the flight in our story that was about to take off as the last flight, so also a day is coming that the rapture will occur. It is the last flight that will take all the saints to heaven whether dead or alive.
The rapture will include the dead saints as they will all rise first from their graves to be caught up with the rest of the saints that are alive at that time. The rapture is a beautiful experience that no child should miss. Repent today so you will not miss the rapture which is the last flight.
Further Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:51-55
Prayer for today: Lord, help me not to miss the last flight which is the rapture.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
