Wednesday: At the Sound of the Trumpet
The Thessalonians were convinced that eternal life would be granted exclusively to those who would remain alive until the Second Coming. “They had carefully guarded the lives of their friends, lest they should die and lose the blessing which they looked forward to receiving at the coming of their Lord. But one after another their loved ones had been taken from them, and with anguish the Thessalonians had looked for the last time upon the faces of their dead, hardly daring to hope to meet them in a future life.” — Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 258.
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. How did Paul correct this misconception?

There is a historical tendency to read into the expression, “bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:14, NKJV) more than the text is saying. Many who accept the theory of the natural immortality of the soul suggest that Christ, at His second coming, will bring with Him from heaven the souls of the righteous dead who are already in heaven with God. Those souls thus can be reunited with their respective resurrected bodies. But such an interpretation is not in harmony with the overall teachings of Paul on the subject.
Read the words of this non-Adventist theologian on the real meaning of this verse: “The reason why the Thessalonian Christians can have hope as they grieve for the dead members of their church is that God ‘will bring’ them, that is, he will resurrect these deceased believers and cause them to be present at Christ‘s return, such that they will be ‘with him.’ The implication is that these deceased believers will not be at some kind of disadvantage at the parousia of Christ but will be ‘with him’ in such a way that they share equally with living believers in the glory associated with his return.” — Jeffrey A. D. Weima, 1-2 Thessalonians, Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2014), p. 319.
If the souls of the righteous dead were already with the Lord in heaven, Paul would not need to mention the final resurrection as the Christian hope; he could have just mentioned that the righteous were already with the Lord. But, instead, he says that “those who sleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:14, NKJV) would be resurrected from the dead at the end of time.
The hope in the final resurrection brought comfort to the grieving Thessalonians. The same hope can help us face with confidence the painful moments when the cold grip of death takes our loved ones from us.
Amen!

What Does the Resurrection Message Mean for Us Today? #Campmeeting
What does the resurrection mean for us today? The resurrection silences our fear, strengthens our faith, and shapes our experiences. The Bible discusses the validity and authenticity of the resurrection. It gives believers in Christ great comfort to know that even if death comes, there will be a resurrection day. Let us “set our minds on things above, not on things on the earth, because we have died, and our life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:2). Watch the video to learn more about the resurrection message for today by Cedric Vine, an Associate Professor of New Testament at Andrews University. ————————————————————————————-
