This Week’s Experience – 5/17/2020

Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

-Hebrews 13:17  

Note- In the video Gilbert mentions Paul as writing this but the author of  Hebrews is unknown.

But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.

 -2 Peter 3:8

However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.

 -Matthew 24:36

People are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment.

-Hebrews 9:27

I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

-2 Corinthians 5:8

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

-1 Thessalonians 4:16

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable.

-1 Corinthians 15:42

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

-1 Corinthians 2:9

And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

-Luke 23:43
