1 Thessaloniciens 4.13

Frères et sœurs, nous voulons vous faire connaître la vérité au sujet des morts. Ainsi vous ne serez pas tristes comme les autres qui n’ont aucune espérance.
Nous trouvons dans ce texte un réconfort, adressé aux parents et aux amis de ceux qui sont morts « dans le Seigneur ». Le chagrin causé par la mort de nos amis est légitime ; nous pouvons pleurer pour la perte que nous éprouvons, bien que leur décès puisse être, en quelque sorte, un gain pour eux.

Ni le christianisme, ni la Grâce, n'interdisent nos affections naturelles. Nous ne devons pas cependant être « excessifs » dans l’expression de notre peine ; un tel sentiment est réservé à ceux qui n'ont aucune espérance dans l’au delà. La mort est un domaine inconnu, nous n’avons guère d’informations sur l’état de ceux qui sont décédés ; cependant les doctrines de la résurrection et la deuxième venue de Christ nous aident à combattre la peur de la mort, elles minimisent toute peine causée par la mort de nos amis chrétiens car en ces doctrines (la résurrection et la deuxième venues de Christ), nous avons une pleine assurance spirituelle.

Nous vivrons un réel bonheur quand tous les saints se rencontreront ; nous resteront ensembles, à jamais ; mais la félicité céleste sera basée sur la présence du Seigneur parmi les rachetés : Le voir, vivre avec Lui, et L'aimer pour toujours !

Nous devons nous réconforter mutuellement lorsque nous traversons une grande peine, sans ébranler spirituellement, ni déstabiliser notre prochain. Ce genre de réconfort peut être tiré des nombreux enseignements reçus lors de la résurrection des morts, et de la seconde venue de Christ. Pouvons-nous réconforter un homme en lui disant qu'il va paraître devant le trône de Dieu, lors du jugement dernier ? Qui peut ressentir du réconfort avec de tels propos ? Uniquement la personne qui a reçu le témoignage de l'Esprit de Dieu, lui signifiant que ses péchés sont effacés, par le sacrifice de Christ, personne dont les pensées sont purifiées par le Saint-Esprit, pour qu'elle puisse aimer Dieu et magnifier dignement Son Nom.

Nous ne sommes pas en sécurité tant qu’il n’en est pas ainsi dans notre cœur : aspirons au bonheur d’être sauvés par Christ !
Or, mes frères, je ne veux pas que vous soyez dans l'ignorance au sujet des morts, afin que vous ne vous affligiez pas, comme les autres hommes qui n'ont point d'espérance.
