Some Christians in a city called Thessalonica were sad because people they loved had died.
Paul wrote, “Don't be sad like people who have no hope! Jesus died and rose again, and He will bring them back too.”
One day Jesus will come back with a loud shout and a trumpet! Everyone who loves Him will be together with Him forever. That's good news to share!
