Monday, October 16th: Isaiah 47-49; 1 Thessalonians 4 ~ Tammy

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Isaiah 47-49; 1 Thessalonians 4

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
Though in the intensity of grief these words could seem trite, in truth they are a lifeline to grasp onto. I do not know how people can face death without the hope that we have.  That is a grief too large to comprehend.  I am so very thankful that we have this hope, this assurance.
