To be "absent from the body" for the Christian is to be "present with the Lord." II Cor. 5:8. Our bones may still lie in a grave somewhere (until the body and soul are one day reunited -- I Thes. 4:13-18), but our soul goes immediately to be with God when we die. What a comfort to have when our saved loved ones pass on, and what a hope for ourselves at our own passing!

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope." 1 Thes. 4:13
