God is love and wants us to be comforted.
1 John 4:8; Psalm 145:16, 2 Corinthians 1:3,4
The resurrection is a wonderful hope to share:
**(Acts 24:15) "...and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. . ."
**(John 5:20, 28+29) "For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to....Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...."(Isaiah 26:19) (Daniel 12:2) (John 11:24)
God sent his son so humankind would have the hope of eternal life:
**(John 3:16)"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." John 17:3; John 11:20-25; (Job 14:14-15)(Acts 17:31)
...in a world with no more death:
**(Revelation 21:4)"...And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."(Isaiah 25:8)(Psalms 37:11+29 / Matthew 5:5)
Answer:
For the most uplifting passages to instill hope in the bereaved devastated by their loss... I Corinthians' resurrection chapter 15 is great material for a eulogy, as well as for one's personal comfort.
"...someone may ask, 'How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?' How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as He has determined, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body... So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable... just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man [Adam], so shall we bear the likeness of the Man from heaven [Christ]..." (I Cor.15:35-49 NIV).
This is but a sampling of the entire hope-filled chapter... but what greater hope could there be for the bereaved than to know that their departed loved one is "asleep"... unconscious... in no pain... and shall live again?
AnswerAnother, of course, is Jesus' own words to his disciples at the beginning of John Chapter 14:"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And 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. You know the way to the place where I am going." Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would knowmy Father".
