Daily Bible Verses(English)|1 Thessalonians 4:1-18

Apostle Paul encourages, "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this, we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught to meet the Lord in the air. And this we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."

May we be encouraged by these words concerning our loved ones who have gone ahead of us and slept in faith concerning the resurrection and the promised second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ our beloved Savior!
