For those who, like me, have lost a loved one, we have this hope🕊

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who are asleep, so that you do not grieve like others who have no hope.

14 If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring back, through Jesus and with him, those who slept in him.

15 We say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will certainly not precede those who are asleep.

16 For when the command has been given, with the voice of the archangel and the sound of the trumpet of God, the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
