The article in Newsweek magazine called it "the ultimate reunion." Was it to be a gathering of war veterans? Perhaps a banquet in honor of our country's living ex-presidents? No, it was nothing of the kind--just a rumor that the surviving members of the popular music group the Beatles and Yoko Ono, widow of deceased Beatle John Lennon, were "thinking of doing something together again."

For those of us who recall the drug abuse and decayed morals of the cultural revolution the Beatles were part of, that rumor held no excitement. But there is another reunion that grabs the attention of Christ's followers, whether the media consider it newsworthy or not.

We anticipate with uplifted hearts the ultimate reunion that will take place when Jesus Christ returns to gather the whole family of God together. Dead believers will be resurrected first (1 Th. 4:16). Then, along with believers living everywhere on the earth, we will all be united with our Lord to enjoy forever the splendor of His presence (v.17).

But only those who have put their trust in the redeeming and returning Savior, the Lord Jesus, will share in that thrilling event. Will you be at the ultimate reunion? Make sure today! --VCG  — RBC Ministries
