Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed– in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is one of my favorite Scriptures, We Christians know that we are foreigners in this world. Sometimes the daily news can be very discouraging, but we get to look Up! Jesus holds out His hand in acceptance and we know where Home is.
Absolutely. Knowing that this world is just fleeting, and eternity awaits…just a moment away…As James says…like a vapor. Come Lord Jesus….!
