 Other folks see it too. He said, "...who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him." Now that's a comforting thought. We're being encouraged whether or not we live or die, we're going to be with the Lord. "...Wherefore, comfort yourselves together." That means that you have to be an encouragement to each other when things get tough and tight and whatever else problems you can think of. "...And edify one another."
