Them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. 1 Thessalonians 4:14
"The body sleeps in its lonely bed of earth, beneath the
coverlet of 
grass. ..... they rest from
their labors, and their works do follow them. Their quiet repose shall
never be broken until God shall rouse them to give them their full
reward. .....they
sleep on, the heritors of glory, till the fulness of time shall bring
the fulness of redemption.
What an awaking shall be theirs!
They were
laid in their last resting place, weary and worn but they wake up in beauty and glory. The shriveled seed, so
destitute of form and comeliness, rises from the dust a beauteous
flower. The winter of the grave gives way to the spring of redemption
and the summer of glory.
Blessed is death, since it, through the divine
power, disrobes us of this work-day garment, to clothe us with the
wedding garment of incorruption. Blessed are those who "sleep in Jesus." Charles Spurgeon
