Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.

The Great Escape

“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Mat. 22:30) “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (I John 3:2)
Listen, if you are saved, the rapture will solve every problem you have! The Bible says that you’re going to get a brand new glorified body like that of Jesus Christ and the angels!
Are you too fat? No problem. There isn’t a fat angel anywhere in the Bible, Jesus wasn’t fat, and you won’t be fat when you head up to glory in your brand new body.
Maybe you have health problems. You won’t have them much longer. The Great Physician will take care of you “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.”
Maybe you think you’re just too ugly and you would like a whole new make-over. Coming right up!
Maybe you wish you could travel and see exciting new things. Prepare for take-off! No seat belts required!
Are you in debt, looking for a way out? You just found it!
Maybe you’re worried about war, terrorism, or a crumbling economy. You won’t have to worry much longer.
Maybe you’re just tried of fighting the world, the flesh, and the devil. The battle will be over when the trumpet sounds! I’ve been trapped in this stinking body of mine for 54 years, having to wash it, shave it, feed it, cloth it, doctor it, exercise it, keep it warm, keep it cool, keep it quiet, keep it out of trouble, keep it under submission. I’m tried of keeping it, and I'll not have to keep it anymore after the Rapture.
Friend, cheer up! The rapture will fix every problem you have! Your greatest triumph, your great escape, is just around the corner!
