You Can See Your Loved Ones Again

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “You’ll See Her Again.” Jennifer Benson Schuldt wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 1 Corinthians 15:12–22 with the key verse, “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:22. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

In the military, no one wants to be the person to bring news that their loved one is dead. My Christian family, the hardest thing for me is to bring comfort to a family that has suffered the loss of a friend or loved one. I have no words. Many ministry courses caution against saying that you will see them again because you might not know if the deceased was a Christian.

If the survivors are Christian, it is easy to encourage that they will see their loved one again. When Jesus returned to life after His crucifixion, death lost its ultimate power to separate believers from each other and God. After we die, we will live again in heaven with God and all our spiritual brothers and sisters for eternity. Jesus is alive today. The victory on the cross swallowed up death.

Reflect:

How has God comforted you in times of sorrow? How might He want to use you to comfort someone who’s grieving today?

Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for dying for my sin. I believe that You’re alive today because God raised You from the dead.

My Prayer for You:

I pray that God will raise You from the dead in the future because Jesus died for your sins.
