A few minutes ago I watched along with a world-wide audience as Felix Baumgartner launched himself into space in an attempt to break the world's free fall record.
A special balloon had carried him 23 miles into the stratosphere, a place where there is no oxygen, no other human being and no warmth.
Suddenly he was on his way, his dare devil leap captured by remote controlled cameras, to land five minutes later in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico.
After the initial "WOW!" we are caused to ask "Now What?"
Can a stunt like that be exceeded?
Actually it can and will be.
I read in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 that shortly the Lord Jesus Christ will be arriving from heaven.
The event is described thus:
"For the Lord Himself shall descend with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, and so shall we be forever with the Lord."
That my friends is truly a WOW.
In fact we will call it the world's "FREE RISE" record.
And since it is about to happen take steps now by placing your trust in Jesus to make sure you don't miss it.
Jubilate
