Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
We know that the same God who brought Jesus back from the dead is going to bring us back too, through Jesus. And when that happens, we'll all be there together.
The God who raised Jesus is bringing us back too, death isn't the end of our story.
