Modern day Sadducees (most Philosophers and the liberal Theologians) question the resurrection. They have no such hope and ridicule those of us who do. Nevertheless, if the bible is true, the resurrection is going to happen whether anyone believes it or not. And, those who expect it have peace as they approach death.
“As in Adam all die, even so, in Christ, all will be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22)
"…we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of humanity, who have no expectation (hope)…For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Thereafter, we who are still alive and surviving shall at. the same time be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.” (1Thessalonians 4:13-18)
Jesus is alive and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. We have a glorious expectation to rise to meet Him when He returns - and that gives me peace as watch for His return!
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living expectation (hope) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” (1 Peter 1:3)
