Ecclesiastes 12:1-6

1
Ecclesiastes 121-6 Remember your Creator in the
days of your youth, before the days of
trouble come and the years approach when you will
say, I find no pleasure in them before the sun
and the light and the moon and the stars grow
dark, and the clouds return after the rain when
the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong
men stoop, when the grinders cease because they
are few, and those looking through the windows
grow dim when the doors to the street are
closed and the sound of grinding fades when
people rise up at the sound of birds, but all
their songs grow faint  when people are afraid
of heights and of dangers in the streets when
the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper
drags itself along and desire no longer is
stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and
mourners go about the streets. Remember
himbefore the silver cord is severed, and the
golden bowl is broken before the pitcher is
shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at
the well

spirit returns to God who gave it.

Hebrews 927

• people are destined to die once, and after that
  to face judgment

14
Hebrews 927-28

• Just as people are destined to die once, and
  after that to face judgment, so Christ was
  sacrificed once to take away the sins of many
  and he will appear a second time, not to bear
  sin, but to bring salvation to those who are
  waiting for him.

15
1 Cor 1512-20

• But if it is preached that Christ has been raised
  from the dead, how can some of you say that there
  is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no
  resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ
  has been raised. And if Christ has not been
  raised, our preaching is useless and so is your
  faith. More than that, we are then found to be
  false witnesses about God, for we have testified
  about God that he raised Christ from the
  dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the
  dead are not raised. 

16
1 Cor 1512-20

•  For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has
  not been raised either. And if Christ has not
  been raised, your faith is futile you are still
  in your sins. Then those also who have fallen
  asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life
  we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most
  to be pitied.
• But Christ has indeed been raised from the
  dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen
  asleep.

17
1 Thess 413, 14 18

• Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be
  uninformed about those who sleep in death, so
  that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind,
  who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died
  and rose again, and so we believe that God will
  bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in
  himTherefore encourage one another with these
  words.
