We are in a season of loss where many strong warriors have been lost to us. But let us not be ignorant about those who fall asleep. Let us not grieve like people who have no hope. We believe that Creator Yahweh, Jesus Yeshua, died and rose again, and so we believe that our Great Chief and Captain will bring with Yeshua those who have fallen asleep in him.

According to Creator Yahweh’s own word, we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of our Great Chief and Captain will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For Creator Yahweh, himself, Jesus Yeshua, will come down from heaven, with a loud shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of our Great Chief and Captain! At that time the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet Creator Yahweh in the air. And so we will be with our LORD forever.

Let us live as people of hope. Let us walk the Beauty Way and celebrate our uniqueness. Let us encourage each other with these words.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
