Add A Condolence

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Josephine and also share a comforting scriptural promise made by Jesus that we will be reunited with our loved ones again.(John 5:28,29)

I am very sorry for your loss. However, Almighty God has provided a guarantee of a resurrection to all men by resurrecting Jesus from the dead. (Psalm 83:18; Acts 17:31) We will be able to see our loved ones again on this earth. (Psalm 37:11, 29) May the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God bring you peace and comfort until that time. (Exodus 31:3)
