It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved one is up in heaven. As most grieving persons will tell you, when death takes your child, your husband, your wife, your parent, your friend, it is truly what the Christian writer Paul called it, Ã?â??ââ?¬Å?the last enemy.Ã?â??ââ?¬ÂThe Bible however, holds out a much different hope. The Bible writer Paul offered hope of relief from that Ã?â??ââ?¬Å?last enemy,Ã?â??ââ?¬Â death. He wrote: Ã?â??ââ?¬Å?Death is to be brought to nothing.Ã?â??ââ?¬Â Ã?â??ââ?¬Å?The last enemy to be abolished is death.Ã?â??ââ?¬Â 1 Corinthians 15:26, The New English Bible Why could Paul be so sure of that? Because he had been taught by one who had been raised from the dead – Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ promised that in the near future millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. Jesus demonstrated in a powerful that he is both willing and able to perform the resurrection by bringing back to life many persons while he was on the earth. Even though I never met him it is my hope that your loved one be among them.Sincerely,Ms. Floyd , USA
