Luke 20:34-38 (NIV)
34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

Thank you for dying for me and for the amazing hope that I have through your resurrection. I look with anticipation to gather with saints who lived since the beginning of time, as we worship You together as Your heavenly family. Thank you that the same power that raised You from the dead will raise us also. In Your Powerful Name. Amen.
