Jesus compared death to sleep, a peaceful unconscious waiting for the resurrection. He has proven that He is a life-giver. We know that He loves to restore the dead to their families and friends. Therefore, we can cherish the hope that we will be reunited with our loved ones one day – even though we are called to wait in faith for God’s final victory over death.
The Bible says, ‘Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning’ (Psalm 30:5). This night of agony will end for you one day—the blessed morning of the resurrection will come. And when God restores beauty and joy to us as we receive our loved ones, we’ll be going to a place where we’ll never experience the pain of death again. He has promised that God will ‘wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away’ (Revelation 21:4). God’s goodness will have the complete victory over evil. The shout will ascend, ‘Where, O death, is your, victory? Where, O death, where is your sting?’ (1 Corinthians 15:55).
What a wonderful morning that will be.
