It is written, "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, NIV)
Who are the 'dead in Christ'? Christians? Born again Christians? If you're born again, how can you be dead?
What does it mean to 'rise'? Does this have to do with perception of reality? To rise out of our quality of selfishness? To rise to the quality of bestowal? To change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal?
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
