Comfort In Christ

Death. It seems so final. 

I’d prepared for my mother’s death because she’d been ill for a long time. But the casket. The cemetery. I broke down weeping. Some family members whispered they were surprised at my grief, but all I could think of was how much I was going to miss her.

What does Jesus want us to know about death? What did He prove when He raised Lazarus and others from the dead? 

Jesus wants us to know that death isn’t final. In fact, Jesus describes death as sleep. Just as someone rouses us from sleep by calling our name, Jesus will rouse us from death as He states in John 5:25. “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live” (John 5:25).

Isn’t it comforting to know that after you pass from this earth you will hear Christ’s voice and awake in His presence? 

There are no better, more comforting words we could hear. Who do you need to share them with?

Lord, who RAISES THE DEAD IN CHRIST, thank You for Your eternal promise that I will one day see You and my loved ones who have died in faith in You.
