Psalm 105:1-5 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his
name: make known his deeds among the people. 2 Sing
unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. 3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of
them rejoice that seek the LORD. 4 Seek
the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;…
1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but
ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16
Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In
everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning
you.

said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have
seen him go into heaven.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we
which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
