The sting of death is hard for all of us. However, the bible gives us hope for the future. Perhaps you have wondered if the dead can really live again. Acts 24:15 says " There is going to be a resurrection". What can that mean for the surviving loved one? Comfort when loved ones die; freedom from a morbid fear of death;and a "real hope for being reunited with our loved one". (John 5: 28, 29) May the bible promises bring you and your family peace and hope for the near future.
