Grieving with Hope

Spiritual Vitamin: "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope." 1 Thessalonians 4:13

Challenge: In this text, Paul is writing to the Thessalonians to remind them of the good news of the second coming of Christ. They don't have to grieve as those who have no hope. They can grieve with hope! Maybe you're grieving the loss of a loved one today.  How does knowing what happens after death help you in your grief?

Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for this important verse reminding us of what is true about believers that know you who die. Help me to grieve with hope as I await the day that I will be rejoined with you and them. Amen.
