If you have lost someone that you love, it is natural to grieve.
With that said, GRIEF is NOT the same as DESPAIR. In 1 Thessalonians 4, the Apostle Paul makes this distinction. Specifically, he says that although it is OK to lament the loss of a loved one, we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. Reunions are coming. And because of that, our 'grief' is tinged with expectation.
Questions That We'll Answer:
A) Why were the Thessalonians so confused about life after death?
B) Will Christians see (and recognize) our loved ones in eternity?
C) How can we be sure of this? What is the basis of our hope?
