What is the end of the story?
We get a lot of hints but not a lot of specifics about how the story will end. We don’t know when the end will come. What we do know is that Jesus will come back, and that when he comes back all who believe in Jesus will receive a new body just like the eternal body that Jesus has. And when Jesus comes back everything will be made right. Now that is hope!
People who die in the meantime are with Jesus. We miss them, but for them it is better by far to be with the Lord.
