What about us?

• How does Jesus feel about us when we die?

3
John 525

• And I assure you that the time is coming, in fact
  it is here, when the dead will hear my voicethe
  voice of the Son of God. And those who listen
  will live.

4
1 Thessalonians 416

• For the Lord himself will come down from heaven
  with a commanding shout, with the call of the
  archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.
  First, all the Christians who have died will rise

5
1 Corinthians 1551-53

• Not all of us will die, but we will all be
  transformed Christians who have died will be
  raised with transformed bodies. And then we who
  are living will be transformed so that we will
  never die. For our perishable earthly bodies
  must be transformed into heavenly bodies that
  will never die.

6
1 Thessalonians 416-17

• All the Christians who have died will rise from
  their graves. Then, together with them, we who
  are still alive and remain on the earth will be
  caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord

  when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed
  to the whole world, you will share in all his
  glory.

• We will be caught up in the clouds to meet the
  Lord in the air and remain with him forever.

What about the meantime?
10
Romans 838

• I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us
  from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The
  angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for
  today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the
  powers of hell can't keep God's love away.

11
Philippians 120-21

• For I live in eager expectation and hope that I
  will never do anything that causes me shame, but
  that I will always be bold for Christ, as I have
  been in the past, and that my life will always
  honor Christ, whether I live or I die. For to me,
  living is for Christ, and dying is even better.

12
Philippians 123

• Sometimes, I long to go and be with Christ.
