John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Wherever we find ourselves today, we need to know Jesus, because He is our hope — hope that the future will be better.
When we give our unwanted diagnosis or trial or stress to Jesus, He will carry us through it, sheltering us with love and peace. Keep the faith.
I know about peace through cancer.
Seek Jesus if you don’t know Him. You need Him.
Because He Lives I can face tomorrow.

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; — He came to love, heal and forgive; — He lived and died to buy my pardon, — An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Chorus:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, — Because He lives, all fear is gone, — Because I know He holds the future, — And life is worth the living, — Just because He lives!
How sweet to hold a newborn baby, — And feel the pride and joy he brings; — But greater still the calm assurance: — This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
And then one day, I'll cross the river, — I'll fight life's final war with pain; — And then, as death gives way to victory, — I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
