Dear family,
My sincere condolences to each of you. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone we love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold that loved one can be almost too difficult to bear. How loving of our Heavenly Father to provide comfort in the scriptures. The Bible's resurrection accounts teach us that the persons who were resurrected were reunited with their loved ones-John chapter 11. Other support for this hope is found at Luke 7:11-15 and Luke 8:49-56.
The Bible also teaches that God's purpose is to restore the whole earth to it's original paradise state-Psalms 37:10,11,29. So our loved ones will be resurrected into a world free of war, crime, sickness and hate. Isnâ??t this a beautiful thing to look forward to?
With sincerest sympathy,
