As we make our journey throu this life, death is our final stop. The Bible gives us aid in our time of sorrow. Even the perfect man,Jesus Christ, “Gave way to tears.”So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous.John11:35Jesus said “I am the resurrection , & the life.”John11:25 What a wonderful gift we have been given to have the hope of seening our loved ones once again.
