6. 13 We do not want you to be uninformed concerning those who have died (“fallen asleep”), so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
14 Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

7. 15 For we say this to you by a revelation from the Lord: We who are still alive at the Lord’s coming will certainly have no advantage over those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

8. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the ear and so we will always be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

9. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53

12. 53 For this corruptible must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal must be clothed with immortality.

Make every day you have left count.
Smile.
