“[Jesus] died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.” I Thessalonians 5:10. (ESV) Who can measure how encouraging these two facts are? Jesus died for us, for our benefit, that we might escape the effects of sin. We will completely escape one day and be with Jesus, and even now we live with him.
Application: pick one or two words from the verse that help you and repeat it to yourself throughout the day or week.
