Dear Francine, John, Steve, Marty, Greg and Family: I know well the pain of losing both a husband & father in death and the hole it leaves in life. How many times I have wanted to pick up the phone and call my Dad, but AT&T doesn’t cover that call…. But Almighty God does! When Jesus was on earth he performed numerous resurrections, awakening people from death, as easily as you would wake up a sleeping child. (Luke 7:12 – 15; John 11:17 – 27 & 38 – 44; Luke 8:41, 42 & 49 – 56). Jesus brought them back to life, on earth, to be with their families who loved and needed them. Jesus will do the same for us in the very near future. In fact, in the forgoing Bible verses Jesus repeatedly likens death to sleep. Please remember death is an "enemy" not a reward (1Corinthians 15:26). And,Jesus has been given ‘all authority in heaven and on earth’ (Matthew 28:18) and will soon exercise his authority over death by raising our loved ones back to life here on earth just as easily as you would awaken a sleeping child. (Acts 24:15 & John 5:28, 29)….. This is a promise from Almighty God, who cannot lie (Titus 1:2).... So take courage, all is not lost....
