2 Samuel 14:1-33; Zephaniah 2:1-15; Galatians 2:1-21
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51
Multitudes have fallen asleep in Christ. Many other believers will be added to their number, even today. Their journey here is finished but a new eternal vista has opened up before them—forever with the Lord. During life here, they came to know Christ. They lived for Christ. They died in Christ and they are presently “with Christ” (Phil. 1:23). But their bodies are sleeping, awaiting the resurrection day. And soon that day will come, when, along with those believers who are living, we will all be united with Him. Look up! He may come today! —L. Cain
God, my Redeemer lives, and ever from the skies
Looks down and watches all my dust, till He shall bid it rise. —Isaac Watts
