Dear Family,
It is of such great sadness to lose someone we love. When someone we love passes away in the sleep of death, it is only natural to want to see them again. Wouldn’t you agree? There is a wonderful hope of seeing them again! The Bible brings out a hope of a resurrection . When Lazarus had died, Jesus had said to Martha at JOHN 11:25,26; “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” Also , there will be a time when “(God) he will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord will wipe the tears from all faces.” (ISAIAH 25:8) The Bible can bring such comfort at times of sorrow. Sincerely Yours, Judy L.
