A few months ago I found my first rapture dream video on YouTube. Not every video on this subject feels sincere, but most do. People tell stories about Jesus’ imminent return and many of the things they say seem to fit with what the Bible says about how the Church Age or Age of Grace will end.

Jesus unleashed his changing, saving power on our broken world when he came and died for all of us, rose again to give us eternal life,, then poured out the Holy Spirit on any of us willing to take Him in.

Jesus tends to change the narrative. He comforts us but also drives us to do uncomfortably things like preach, serve, and take in the orphaned.

The description Jesus gives of the Rapture is a description similar to Noah’s Ark or Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt—make haste, go quickly, don’t look back.

So this story about a website for messages after the Rapture—

got me thinking.

Wouldn’t it be better to say things now?

This is what I would say—

Nothing matters but Jesus and all of us have our value raised and our lives secured because he paid for us and our sins.

He wants to be your best friend.

His answers are good and his love is transforming.

And the Holy Spirit comforts and galvanizes those who let him into their lives.

Ask him if he is real now. Ask him to hep you feel and see his love.

Don’t wait, because Jesus is worth finding and pursuing.

—John 2 and 21, and everything in between.
