Hope in the Resurrection

Hope in the Resurrection

Cody John Simpson
Pastor at Voyage Church

Happy Friday ☀️ Here is an encouraging devotional from Pastor Cody!We don’t have to fear death because Jesus overcame it in His resurrection. We have hope in the same resurrection power that leads to eternity with the Father.

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. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
