Grieving Hopefully

Oscar Roche • May 26, 2024

We do not grieve as those who have no hope. Pastor Oscar Roche brings a comforting reminder from Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Death is a universal reality, and grief is a powerful emotion when we’ve lost something we loved. We may be tempted to ask, “How could a good God allow this?” Yet the Lord promises to be near to the brokenhearted, to those who are crushed in spirit. In our times of brokenness we must run to God. Grief and hope can coexist. Death is not the end; it is merely an entrance way to glory.
