[17]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.
[18]Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 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”
LESSON AIM: To let the children know Jesus is coming back to take the elect.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Be prepared for Jesus Christ second coming
INTRODUCTION: The word rapture is not in the Bible. The phrase the Bible uses is the first resurrection. When JesUs Christ comes again, He will come with His saints that is those who have already slept in the Lord and whose souls and spirit are in paradise. These saints will come down to earth to pick up their bodies. Jesus Christ will be waiting for them in the air. After the saints have joined Him, those of us who are alive will go and meet them with our bodies already changed. This is the first resurrection. which is also called the Rapture.
