1 Thessalonians 4: 17 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.
Paul has instructed the church about interpersonal relationships. He then turns to eternal life and the promise of being reunited with those we love in the hereafter. We will meet them and our Savior and Lord forever.
This is so good that I am surprised I haven't heard it at funerals. It is so promising, so positive and upbeat. It really would lighten the mood of the believers who are left behind. It would also make a great Christian rock song!
Prayer: I want to be with You forever, Lord. I want to be reunited with those I have loved and lost. I look forward to the time when my eternity begins in Paradise. Thanks be to you, O Lord.
Amen
