He takes them individually to Himself. Acts 7:59; Phil. 1:23.
He watches over their ashes. John 6:39,40. He will raise them by His power. John 6:39,40; I

Thus the activities of Christ on behalf of His people, take in, in their range, the past, the present,
and the future. They stretch, like a golden line, from everlasting to everlasting. Well may it be
said, "Happy is the people that is in such a case, yea, happy is the people whose God is the Lord".
(Ps. 144:15).
"Happy they who trust in Jesus,
Sweet their portion is and sure."
