This document discusses angels and their role at death according to the Bible. It provides several scriptural references that describe angels escorting and carrying believers, such as Lazarus, into heaven. The document emphasizes that death should not be seen as a tragedy for Christians, but rather a joyful transition escorted by angels into God's presence in heaven. Billy Graham is quoted as saying angels see death as a journey from time to eternity marked by victory.

• Today’s Lesson:
• “Angels With Us
At Death”

3. Scriptural Basis
Luke 16:19-31
Lazarus was not only escorted, he was
carried (v.22).
Death should not be considered a tragedy
for the believer.
Angels joyfully carry the believer into
heaven where he will be gloriously
welcomed!

4. Psalm 23:4
“Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil because You are
with me.”

5. Heaven is a Joyful Place!
Matthew 25:21, “His Lord said to him, ‘Well
done, good and faithful servant; you were
faithful over a few things, I will make you
ruler over many things. Enter into the joy
of your lord.’”
Luke 15:10, “Likewise, I say to you, there
is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner who repents.”

6. Billy Graham:
“The Christian should never
consider death a tragedy. Rather
he should see it as angels do: They
realize that joy should mark the
journey from time to eternity. The
way to life is by the valley of death,
but the road is marked with victory
all the way . . .”

7. “Just remember that at one moment
you may be suffering, but in another
moment, you will be instantly
transformed into the glorious likeness
of our Savior. The wonders, beauties,
splendor, and grandeur of heaven will
be yours. You will be surrounded by
these heavenly messengers sent by
God to bring you home where you may
rest from your labors . . .”
