For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,\xa0with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel\xa0and with the trumpet call of God,\xa0and the dead in Christ will rise first.\xa0that, we who are still alive and are left\xa0will be caught up together with them in the clouds\xa0to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord\xa0forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NIV)

She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,\xa0and immediately her bleeding stopped. \u201cWho touched me?\u201d\xa0Jesus asked.When they all denied it, Peter said, \u201cMaster,\xa0the people are crowding and pressing against you.\u201d46But Jesus said,\xa0\u201cSomeone touched me;\xa0I know that power has gone out from me.\u201dLuke 8:40-56 (NIV)

Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her,\xa0\u201cDaughter, your faith has healed you.\xa0Go in peace.\u201d While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.\xa0\u201cYour daughter is dead,\u201d he said. \u201cDon\u2019t bother the teacher anymore.\u201d Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus,\xa0\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.\u201dLuke 8:40-56 (NIV)

But he took her by the hand and said,\xa0\u201cMy child, get up!\u201d\xa055Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.\xa056Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.Luke 8:40-56 (NIV)
