To the Bradley Family:
We take this time to express our personal condolences to the family of Michael J Bradley. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family during this time of great sadness. Now is the time to be on the receiving end of getting much love and comfort from the many family members and friends. Yes, I know all will be there for you in this great time of need. We must also remember that God will also be here for us. In the scriptures, God is referred to as the God of tender mercy and comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) His great love and comfort can be clearly seen from this loving promise that God makes known to people everywhere they live. The promise is recorded at John 5:28-29. In these two verses, God tells us that He would soon use His great powers to call to those in the grave to stand up in life again. Oh, what a powerful promise this truly is. From the reading of these verses, God is giving us His personal guarantee that the restoring of life would take place. Now, just imagine this loving promise being applied to Michael, and a great host of others to stand up in life again. This loving provision will take place because God is the source of life for all created things. (Psalm 36:9) Just imagine this time period when the sound of joy and laughter will fill the entire globe. And just imagine your personal reaction when you will witness with your own eyes Michael and others standing up in life again. So, we have much to look forward too. Until then, we can use this time to learn all that we can about the future resurrection blessing. There are nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about the grand blessing soon to take place. Here is just one such example that we can gain personal comfort from God. The account is recorded at Acts 9:36-42. I hope that all will get a chance to see how these verses apply to Michael 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)
