1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 NASB95

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Because Jesus is alive, we grieve the passing of Brantley Parsley with hope.

Because Jesus is alive, we know that when He comes again, Brantley will come with him.

Because Jesus is alive, we know that the dead in Christ will rise.

Because Jesus is alive, we know that we will all meet the Lord in the air.

Because Jesus is alive, we know that we shall always be with the Lord.

Because Jesus is alive, we comfort one another with these words from God’s Word.
