Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 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. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.
One of my family friends go to that church...and then a few weeks ago Fee led worship for us at a retreat and he spoke about how he was scheduled to lead worship at that church the Friday after. They arrived as the funeral was getting out and the pastors wife came out and said to him something along the lines of "we don't want satan to think that he can mess with us, let's worship tonight" She is a beast! awesome! We need to praise God that people like her are being heard as a representation of Jesus!
