Hope Beyond Death


“Death is terrible for doubters; for while they know the grave, they do not know the life beyond it.” — Charles Spurgeon


“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 up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” - ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


May we confidently go about our day knowing that if this physical life ended for us today as believers, our life has really just begun for eternity with Christ.


With that being said, may we go all in today for the glory of God.
