Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received
the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and
embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the
earth.
We are all strangers
and pilgrims on earth, but we don't all realize that we are strangers and
pilgrims.
We have faith that
one day we will be called to heaven to be with our Savior when He returns for
us. We have faith that all those who die and sleep the long sleep will rise
from the graves and be transformed in a twinkling of an eye, to meet their Lord
in the air.
My uncle has ended his pilgrimage on earth, he has entered the long sleep, but I have faith that He will rise when our Savior returns, that He will be with Him and all of us who wait in faith for the return of our Lord.
Truly as pilgrims
searching for our heavenly home we are strangers here in this world of chaos,
but cling to the faith of a much better world. We journey onwards ever hoping
in the mercy and grace of our Lord to save us from all evil, from our selves,
from anything nd everything that would separate us from the Way, the Truth, and
the Life- our Savior, our Lord, Jesus Christ!
All in HIS love
always!
1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where
is thy victory?
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength
of sin is the law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
