My Bible Story
Paul taught that one day Jesus will return in the clouds. Believers who died will rise first. Then those who are alive will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air. We will receive new bodies that never die. This event is called the Rapture — a moment of joy for all who belong to Jesus.
What This Teaches Us
- Jesus is coming back soon.
- We must stay ready and holy.
- The Rapture is a joyful hope — not a fear.
- Believers will receive eternal, perfect bodies.
