1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Their bodies are asleep in the graves, but their spirits live on with Jesus.
If He is going to bring them with Him, they must be with Him ahead of time. 2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:20-24; 2 Pet. 1:14.
Don’t worry about those who have gone on before! They are with the Lord but they will be back. They are coming with Jesus when He comes for His Redeemed!
He Rose Triumphantly

He rose tri-um-pantly, — In pow’r and maj-es-ty, — The Savior rose no more to die; — O let us now proclaim — The glory of His name, — And tell to all He lives today.
