Paul Washer emphasizes the significance of the second coming of Christ as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, highlighting the joy and hope it brings to believers while also warning of the seriousness of being unprepared. He explains that Christ will descend with authority, and the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by those who are alive, all to meet the Lord in the air. Washer encourages believers to comfort one another with these words, reminding them of the eternal joy of being with the Lord forever. He stresses the importance of living in anticipation of this event and the need for believers to support one another in faith. Ultimately, he calls for a deep, personal relationship with Christ, urging listeners to collapse on Him in faith.
