Scripture
Matthew 21:1-3
1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
2saying to them, Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.
Matthew 21:10-11
10When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, Who is this?
11The crowds answered, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.
Matthew 21:14-15
14The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.
15But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant.
Mark 11:18
18The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.
Luke 19:41-42
41As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it
42and said, If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes.
Proverbs 4:23
23Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Matthew 7:13
13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Matthew 24:30-31
30Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth Or [the tribes of the land] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
1 Corinthians 15:51-58
51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-
52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
55Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?
56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 2:9
9However, as it is written: What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived- the things God has prepared for those who love him-
John 14:1-3
1Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God Or [Believe in God]; believe also in me.
2My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
John 14:6
6Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Titus 1:2
2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
1 Peter 1:24-25
24For, All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was preached to you.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16For 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.
17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Revelation 21:4
4'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
