To The Grieving Family of Mr. John Thomas Sikes.....A message of Solace at The Time of Your Lost of a Loved One…………Many Wonder: Is There Any Hope for the Dead?WHY THE QUESTION ARISES:We want to live, and we want to enjoy life with those we love. It is only natural that we yearn to see our dead loved ones again.WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES:Most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus promised that “those in the memorial tombs will . . . come out.†(John 5:28, 29) In harmony with God’s original purpose, those resurrected as humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43) This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible says: “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.†â€"Psalm 37:29.Isn’t this wonderful news! To think, our lost loved ones will have an opportunity for †Eternal Life†on Paradise Earth at this Resurrection.It is my sincere hope that these words/this knowledge helps to sustain you, your family during your Bereavement…See also Job 14:14, 15; Luke 7:11-17; and Acts 24:15.
