“We should remember especially
that the use of the word heaven
to denote our ultimate goal of the
redeemed, though hugely
emphasised by medieval piety,
mystery plays and the like, and
still almost universally at a
popular level, is severely
misleading and does not begin to
do justice to the Christian hope.”
For All The Saints p. 20-21

I Thessalonians 4

 13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.

 13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.

 13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about

who have no hope.
I Thessalonians 4

 13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.

 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we
14


believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have
fallen asleep in him.
I Thessalonians 4
  15According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who
are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will
certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a
16


loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up
17


together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.

 Therefore encourage each other with these words.

I Thessalonians 4

 13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.
Luke 23

 39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him:
"Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
 40But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he
said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished
justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has
done nothing wrong."
 42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom."
 43Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with
me in paradise."
Luke 23

 39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him:
"Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
 40But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he
said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished
justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has
done nothing wrong."
 42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom."
 43Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with
me in paradise."



                                                 ,
 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth today you will be
43

with me in paradise."
Philippians 1:
20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be
ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as
always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or
by death. 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If
I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labour
for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23I am torn
between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ,
which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you
that I remain in the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that I
will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your
progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my being with
you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account
of me.
