Day 27
But we
do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have
died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring
with him those who have died.
1
Thessalonians 4:13-14 (NRSV)
HOPE IN
GRIEF
The
Thessalonian Christians believed in the speedy return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They appeared to believe that death was the end, and that only those who are
alive when Jesus returns would go to heaven. Paul wrote to let them, and now
us, know that there is coming a day when even the dead will rise again. Our
loving God who moved in power to create the world and all that is in it, is the
same one who will raise the bodies of the dead. This should comfort our hearts
as it did the hearts of those first followers of Christ.
PRAYER
Our God
of love and truth, we bring before you on this day those who have gone before
us and those whose names we will continue to remember. Help us to lift our eyes
above this world’s troubles and let us find hope in you alone. Through Jesus
Christ our Lord and Redeemer. Amen
