I wish to express my sincerest sympathy to the Thomas family and friends because of losing Mr. James recently in death. Our loving heavenly Father, Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18), promises a resurrection of our dead loved ones and he promises to do away with tears, pain, and death in the near future. (Revelation 21: 4) Job asked at Job 14:14, 'If a man dies, can he live again?' Job answers at Job 14;15, 'You (Jehovah) will call and I will answer.' Just like Job we can have confidence in the resurrection hope. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25, Acts 24:15) HE WILL CALL 1. Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: (CHORUS) He will call; The dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we shall live forever, As the work of his own hand. 2. Friends of our God, though they may pass away, Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in God’s mem’ry stay, From death he will awaken. Then we’ll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally. (CHORUS) He will call; The dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we shall live forever, As the work of his own hand. (See also John 11:11, 43; Jas. 4:14.) Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 34:18 For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt.
