COMFORTABLE WORDS

I Thessalonians 4: 13;15; 18

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope... For this we say unto you, by the Word of the LORD, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not precede them who are asleep...Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.

WORDS OF COMFORT

The LORD would not have us ignorant about those who have died; they are with the LORD in glory.  They slept in the arms of JESUS and remain there with Him; a GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES.

Some will want to say, this person or that person is with the LORD; but I say to you that we are not the judge about the relationship between a person and GOD; therefore, we state what we pray, "those who have died are safe in the arms of JESUS for all eternity". We who are alive have work to do to glorify GOD while we are given breath. Those who have died are now with the Holy One in glory, they are Holy witnesses, we have souls to bring to Christ; their work is finished, our work continues.

The Words of Comfort to all who mourn over a loved one who has died, is that they ran their course, now you run yours. GET IN YOUR BOOTS MEN there is the Work of GOD to be done, MOUNT UP ON EAGLES WINGS AND SOAR.
