saying that is written will come true: "Death has been
swallowed up in victory."

15. “We should remember especially
that the use of the word heaven
to denote our ultimate goal of the
redeemed, though hugely
emphasised by medieval piety,
mystery plays and the like, and
still almost universally at a
popular level, is severely
misleading and does not begin to
do justice to the Christian hope.”
For All The Saints p. 20-21

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.
I Thessalonians 4
14We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we
believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have
fallen asleep in him.

23.  
15According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who
are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will
certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a
loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18Therefore encourage each other with these words.
I Thessalonians 4

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him:
"Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
 
40
But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he
said, "since you are under the same sentence?
41
We are punished
justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has
done nothing wrong."
 
42
Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom."
 
43
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with
me in paradise."
Luke 23

Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth today, you will be
with me in paradise."

27. 20
I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be
ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as
always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or
by death.
21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22
If
I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labour
for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
23
I am torn
between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ,
which is better by far;
24
but it is more necessary for you
that I remain in the body.
25
Convinced of this, I know that I
will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your
progress and joy in the faith,
26
so that through my being with
you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account
of me.
Philippians 1:
