Bereaved

Matthew 5:4, 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

“Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Jesus reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13 that we do not have to sorrow as those who do not hope. We as believers have the ultimate assurance that Jesus died and rose again, ascended and is coming again. We also believe that He will bring with Him those that have died. One day, all believers will be reunited in the grandest reunion ever seen!

God is there and we can always hold onto Him for courage and strength.

Ultimately when someone dies, it is not entirely about them but about those who are left behind to mourn the loss of a loved one. Will it draw us closer to God or will we move further away from God? If we want to reunite with those who have gone to heaven, we must draw closer to God.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
