b'Grief is the way we process when something very bad has happened. Death is the result of sin, and it is so bad that God\\u2019s Word calls it \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153the last enemy\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:26). Death is not the way it is supposed to be, and so grief is appropriate when death happens.\\nWhile we don\\u2019t know exactly what it will be like after we die, those who know Jesus can have peace because death is ultimately defeated in Jesus\\u2019 death and resurrection. Christians will be resurrected like Jesus and spend eternity with Him and in reunion with other believers (1 Corinthians 15:20-23; Revelation 21:1-5). \\nWe will have made-new bodies, we won\\u2019t struggle with sin and all of its bad effects, and we will be able to love and serve God like we never have before (1 Corinthians 15:42-44). It will be wonderful!\\nSo when loved ones who know Jesus die, you will still grieve that loss, but you can grieve with hope.\\n\\u2022 What are you most looking forward to about eternity with Jesus?
