Dear family, “If a man dies, can he live again?” asked the man Job long ago. (Job 14:14) Perhaps you, too, have wondered about this. How would you feel if you knew that a reunion with your loved ones was possible right here on earth under the best of conditions? Well, the Bible makes the promise: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up.” And the Bible also says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Isaiah 26:19; Psalm 37:29) May you find hope and comfort in knowing that soon our merciful God will bring your loved ones back.
