2 Corinthians 417-18

• For this slight momentary affliction is preparing
  for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all
  comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that
  are seen but to the things that are unseen. For
  the things that are seen are transient, but the
  things that are unseen are eternal.

2 Peter 33-4

• knowing this first of all, that scoffers will
  come in the last days with scoffing, following
  their own sinful desires. 4 They will say,
  "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever
  since the fathers fell asleep, all things are
  continuing as they were from the beginning of
  creation."

Acts 110-11

• And while they were gazing into heaven as he
  went, behold, two men stood by them in white
  robes, 11 and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you
  stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was
  taken up from you into heaven, will come in the
  same way as you saw him go into heaven."

Matthew Henry

• Though the grace of faith is of universal use
  throughout the Christians life, yet it is
  especially so when we come to die. Faith has its
  great work to do at the very last, to help
  believers to finish well, to die to the Lord so
  as to honor Him, by patience, hope and joy so as
  to leave a witness behind them of the truth of
  Gods Word and the excellency of His ways.

1 Corinthians 1554-57

• Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all
  sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a
  moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
  trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead
  will be raised imperishable, and we shall be
  changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on
  the imperishable, and this mortal body must put
  on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on
  the imperishable, and the mortal puts on
  immortality, then shall come to pass the saying
  that is written "Death is swallowed up in
  victory." 55 "O death, where is your victory? O
  death, where is your sting?" 56 The sting of
  death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
  57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
  through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1558

• Therefore, in light of the fact that death has
  lost its sting. In light of the fact that the
  immortal is coming. In light of the fact that
  the imperishable is just around the corner.
  Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast,
  immovable, always abounding in the work of the
  Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not
  in vain.
