The future is God’s, and God will bring in God’s reign. Therefore Paul is certain that the “dead in Christ” will not be forgotten. They, together with those “who are alive,” will be caught up in a joyful throng, meeting Christ in the air to welcome him as he returns to reign. This Advent, may we like Paul claim this promise, and “comfort one another with these words. - The Rev. Dr. Steven Tuell
