What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Comfort Grief Ellen White Quotes Death Hope"
Answer
Ellen White emphasizes that death for believers is merely a sleep in a state of unconsciousness, until the voice of Jesus calls them at the resurrection. Grieving people find comfort in the certainty of a personal reunion, where friends and relatives will recognize each other again.
Christian hope transforms the pain of separation, because Jesus, through His own victory over the grave, has disarmed death and gives the bereaved peace and strength. In the glorious future there will be no disease, no sorrow, and no death.
The Precious Hope of the Resurrection
»How precious indeed are, for those who lose their loved ones in this world, their faith and their hope in God's promises, which open to them the future immortal life!... Christ has risen from the dead as the firstborn. Hope and faith strengthen the soul to walk through the dark shadows of the grave, fully trusting that on the morning of the resurrection it will emerge into immortal life. ... When Christ comes a second time, ... death will be swallowed up in victory, and there will be no more disease, no more sorrow, and no more death!«
Recognition of Beloved Friends
»The resurrection of Jesus was an example of the final resurrection of all who sleep in Him. The resurrected body of the Savior, His appearance, the accent of His speech, all of this was familiar to His followers. In the same way those who sleep in Jesus will be resurrected again. We will recognize our friends as the disciples recognized Jesus. ... In their resurrected and glorified bodies their individual identity will be perfectly preserved, and we will recognize the features of those we love in the face that shines with the light of Jesus.«
Comfort Through Christ's Victory Over the Grave
»Jesus comforts our mourning over the dead with a message of endless hope: “I will deliver them from the power of the grave; I will free them from death. Death, I will be your plague; grave, I will be your destruction.” ... “I am the one who lives and was dead; and behold, I am alive from eternity to eternity ... and I have the keys of hell and death.”«
Death as a Sleep Without Consciousness
»Paul then endeavored to enlighten his Thessalonian brothers about the true condition of the dead. He speaks of them as sleepers – in a state of unconsciousness: “But I do not want to keep from you, dear brothers, those who are sleeping, so that you are not sad like the others who have no hope. ... For the Lord Himself will ... come down from heaven ... and the dead in Christ will rise first. ... So now comfort one another with these words.”«
Personal Comfort in Times of Loss
»When my oldest son was taken from me, I felt that my sorrow was great, but Jesus came to my side and I felt His peace in my soul. The cup of comfort was placed to my lips. And then the one who had stood by my side for thirty‑six years ... was taken away. ... Again my sorrow seemed great, but after everything the cup of comfort came. Jesus is precious to me. He walked by my side ... and He will walk by your side.«
