WITHOUT the resurrection, there is no hope for any future life for the human dead. But Jehovah, out of undeserved kindness, has opened up for billions who have died the priceless opportunity to enjoy eternal life. As a result, we also have the heartwarming hope of being reunited with loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.Compare Mark 5:35, 41, 42

December 16, 2018

Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. May you find words such as those found at John 6:40 to be of comfort during this time.

December 16, 2018

My thoughts are with you during this time. I am so sorry for your loss.
