We want to extend our deepest condolences to all who are grieving at this time. A long time ago, a very close friend passed away, and many were grieving. His sister was promised: “Your brother will rise.” Martha then expressed her confidence in that promise by saying: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” That’s the same confidence you can have too, that in the very near future, those we’ve lost will return to life in a future resurrection, as promised at John 5:28, 29 & 11:22-24. It is our hope that these promises of our Lord will keep you going at this time of loss and grief.
