Dear Family,
Losing a loved one can be devastating. However, please take comfort in knowing that death isn’t the end. Jesus demonstrated that when he resurrected Lazarus and a few others while he was on earth. John chapter 11 shows that to those who were with him when he heard of Lazarus’ death, Jesus said: "Lazarus has falling asleep and I am going to awaken him". And just as he stated, the account reveals that he asked Lazarus' relatives to take him to the grave where they had already buried Lazarus four days prior. When he got there, he called Lazarus, who came out alive and well like he was never dead. In John 5: 28 Jesus promises that what he did then was a preview of what he'll soon do for the dead when he rules the entire earth as King of God’s Heavenly Kingdom/Government. (Daniel 7: 13 and 14); (Daniel 2:44) When that times comes, the following Scriptures also confirm that Jesus will eliminate every problem we face today such as SICKNESS, OLD AGE, WAR, VIOLENCE, PAIN, DEATH. EVEN OUR DEAD LOVED ONES WILL BE RESURRECTED. (Isaiah 33:24); (Job 33:25); (Psalms 46: 9 and 10); (Isaiah 2: 4); (Psalms 37: 9-11 and 29); (Revelation 21: 3 and 4); (John 5: 28 and 29).
