To the McFarland Family:
We take this time to express our personal condolences to the family of Glady McFarland. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family, and friends of the family during this time of great sadness. Indeed, these are difficult times for all. This enemy death really takes a lot out of us. (1 Corinthians 15:26) All today can be truly happy that God will not continue to let this enemy to have the mastery over His earthly family. He has given us His personal promise that He would soon rid the earth of all pain and suffering. (Revelation 21:3-4) Death will be included in the things that causes a great deal of suffering. So, our Creator will even make proper arrangement to eliminate death forever, and to restore life back to those who have died. God lets us know about these changes in a promise that is recorded at John 5:28-29. In the promise, God tells us that we are near the time when He would cause a calling to go forth to those in the grave to stand up in life again. What a truly remarkable promise this really is. Just from this one text, God is giving His earthly family His personal guarantee that the restoring of life will indeed take place for a great host of people who have died. To many this promise may seem impossible to take place. However, all must remember that God is the source of life for all things. (Psalm 36:9) Even if a person dies, God has the power to make that person whole again. When we take in consideration the scriptural verses that we have cited, the future is truly bright for Glady, and to many others who have fallen asleep in death. God promise assures them that they have the hope of standing up in life again. So, do you see yourself being reunited back with Glady and many others? Yes, what a grand reunion this time will prove to be. A great sound of joy and laughter will fill the entire earth, as we welcome and witness with our very eyes our loved ones standing up in life again. God has also taken the time to preserve nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about this grand blessing that is near at hand. Here is just one such example that is recorded at Acts 9:36-42. I hope that all will get a chance to see how these verses apply to your loved ones in a very special way. In closing we encourage all to please keep this promise of God near your hearts at all times. Remember that when God makes a promise, it becomes reality. For it is impossible for God to lie. (Titus 1:2)
