1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
When believers follow a body to the grave, we are not saying goodbye to those we love.
We are saying, “I’ll meet you in the morning!”
They have gone to be with Jesus, and we will see them again.
God knows where all the bodies are — every molecule and atom, and they will get up again!
I’ll Meet You In The Morning
____________________________
I will meet you in the morning by the bright riverside, — When all sorrow has drifted away; — I’ll be standing at the portals when the gates open wide, — At the close of life’s long, dreary day.
CHORUS
I’ll meet you in the morning — With a “How do you do?” — And we’ll sit down by the river — And with rapture “auld” acquaintance renew; — You’ll know me in the morning — By the smiles that I wear, — When I meet you in the morning — In the city that is built foursquare.
I will meet you in the morning in the sweet by and by, — And exchange the old cross for a crown. — There will be no disappointments and nobody shall die, — In that land when life’s sun goeth down.
I will meet you in the morning at the end of the way, — on the streets of that city of gold; — where we all can be together and be happy for aye — while the years and the ages shall roll.
