Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceMy condolences Florence and the family. I would like to share a comforting Bible scripture with You and your loved ones from the Book of (Rev.21:3-5.) I know that at this moment it's difficult to feel comfort during this hour of sadness, But, when we are faced with a loss of a loved one,(Jas.4:8)-Draw close to God,and he will draw close to you.
The Bible teaches us that "There is going to be a resurrection"-(Acts 24:15,New World Translation.)
What That Can Mean For You: •Comfort when loved ones die. (2Cor.1:3,4.)
•Freedom from a morbid fear of death. (Hebrews 2:15.)
•A real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones. (John 5:28,29.)
Can We Really Believe What The Bible Says? Yes for at least three reasons.
•God is the Creator of Life. The Bible calls Jehovah God "the Source of life."(Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:24,25) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died.
•God has resurrected humans in the past. The Bible reports eight instances of humans-young,old,male, and female- who were brought back to life on earth. Some had been dead for a short while, but one had been in a tomb for four days!-(John 11:39-44.)
•God is eager to do it again. Jehovah hates death;he views it as a enemy.(1 Cor.15:26) He has "a yearning" to conquer that enemy,to undo death by means of the resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. (Job 14:14,15.)
I know that these comforting words can sustain you and your family in your hour of need. If you do not have a Bible, you can read it online at www.jw.org/en (Go to PUBLICATIONS>BIBLE). LOVE AND MISS YOU GUY'S.
