Hope

Beneath this sod lies the shell wherein,

I dwelt on earth as mortal man.

Thru the faith Of Christ and by His grace,

My soul hath found a resting place.

It was not meet e’er the spirit remain,

Bound by sin to a house of decay,

My temple knows naught, 

but in silence sleeps,

'Til mortal doth immortality greet.

A Believer’s Hope…

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 

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: 

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.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.   

[Tit 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 KJV]
