What is a good Bible verse for saying good bye?
What is a good Bible verse to encourage people when you have to say good bye and you don’t know how long it will be until you see them again? Just any verse about being with them or something like that.
Please help me.
Thanks!
Preachers say benedictions, or blessings, at the end of church service that are meant to say good-bye to the congregation until you see them again. Here are a few scriptures from the New International Version that may help:
"The Lord bless you, and keep you: The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26)
"Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you." (II Corinthians 13:11)
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)
"May the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (II Corinthians 13:14)
And finally…
"Say good-bye to me, but not to the thought of me." – this is not scripture, but from a Bible resource called the Lord’s Supper (see link below)
Hope this helps!
"Father, why hast thou forsaken me?"
