What Does the New Testament Phrase “Absent From the Body and Present With the Lord” Exactly Mean?

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob and Shawn are answering questions from our listeners. We will hear them discuss the phrase “absent from the body and present with the Lord.” Found in 2 Cor 5:8, what exactly does this phrase mean? How do we harmonize this verse with other New Testament teachings on the rapture? We will hear the guys unpack this issue. We hope you can join us as we seek to keep grace in focus.
