‘Encourage Other Believers With These Words.’
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
a) 1 Thessalonians 4:13. What happens to other Believers when they die – so that will not grieve like people who have no hope.
b) 1 Thessalonians 4:14. The Resurrection of Christ means that we believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
c) 1 Thessalonians 4:15. We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died.
d) 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. At the time of the physical Second coming of the Lord a new dispensation begins, all True Believers will be with the Lord forever.
e) 1 Thessalonians 4:18. These are words with which to comfort one another.

Chris.
In some Nations, especially those who have a non Christian background, people who are called “Christians” never recover from grief. The grief that they carry makes them bitter, angry and depressed. As True Believers in Jesus we do not have to be like that. Yes, we grieve and mourn for the loss of a loved one, a Believer, it is a process we should healthily go through. We also have hope that together with them, we are going to be with the Lord forever and their death is only a temporary separation.
