1You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,
“The cutting of the body and the shaving of the head were common mourning rites in the ancient Near East and are referred to in many places in the Old Testament (Isaiah 3:24; 15:2; 22:12; Jeremiah 16:6; 41:5; Ezekiel 7:18; Amos 8:10; Micah 1:16).” (Thompson)
As Christian’s and followers of Jesus Christ we should all look forward to going home when we die and not act like others who have no hope!
1 Thessalonians 4:13: But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
Do you have hope?
Blessings
