Dear Family, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for you and inform you that death isn’t the end. Jesus demonstrated that in (John 11 verses 11-14, 39, 43, and 44). According to that account, upon hearing of Lazarus’ death Jesus said to those who were with him: “Lazarus has fallen asleep I’m going to awaken him.” To show that the dead are simply sleeping till the last day when he will resurrect them, Jesus went to the grave and resurrected Lazarus, who was buried for four days. This will happen again when Jesus rules the earth as King of Jehovah’s Heavenly Kingdom. (Daniel 2:44) (Revelation/Apocalypse 20:6). Indeed, Jesus himself promises that in John 5: 28. So as you wait for that time, trust in that promise because it’s guaranteed. Meanwhile, please take steps to heed Jesus’ counsel in John 17: 3 to gain accurate knowledge of Jehovah and Jesus by studying the Bible with the Jehovah’s Witnesses. In John 5 verse 39, Jesus explains that such study is vital if one wishes to have endless life one day here on earth, which will become a paradise where you can be re-united with your dead loved ones again including (Ps: 37: 29). For more info concerning the dead and the wonderful future God has in store for those who obey Him, please speak to the Witnesses and they’ll be happy to use your own copy of the Bible to assist you. May you find comfort in the cited Scriptures!
