WILL YOU BE AT THE FAMILY REUNION?

April 19, 2017

“I say to you, that many shall come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 8:11

Ever been to a family reunion? If you have, you know that they can be a lot of fun or total misery. Just how many times can you hear that same old story from Uncle Billy? Or what about that relative who doesn’t like you, no matter what you do? Well, whether a reunion is good or bad depends on you, members of your family, or both.

But I’m here to tell you that a family reunion can be really, really great! I want to tell you about the ultimate family reunion – one that we’ll all want to attend.

I’m speaking of what happens when Christians die. Not only do we get to be with Christ, we also get to be with those who have died in Christ before us and are enjoying the eternal family reunion in heaven – a reunion where everyone gets along. Won’t that be something? Well, it won’t be if you miss it!

The good news is that we can be sure we make the ultimate family reunion by believing and knowing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. And when we step over from this life to the next, He’ll welcome us home with the greatest family reunion we can imagine.

I’m looking forward to that ultimate family reunion. I hope to see you there one day.
