"Jesus said....I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies, ..." John 11:25
You perhaps remember these words spoken by Jesus to Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who had been dead for four days and was already in the tomb.
Put yourself in her shoes and remember this encounter as you consider what lies beyond death for all whose faith and trust has been placed in Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.
No question but there is grief and sorrow at the passing of a loved one. It is only human to long for one whose presence will be missing.
But keep in mind that Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am you may be also." John 14:1
He was talking about heaven. But even before heaven we who will have died in Christ will live upon this earth with Him for a thousand years.
What a plan.
What a God!!!
