Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Thessalonians 4:15

"For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep." — 1 Thessalonians 4:15 (ASV)

We shall have no preference over the saints who are sleeping in Jesus, we shall not go before them, and we shall be on a blessed equality with them.
