[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (4/8/18)[:]

[:en]Every time someone dear to us passed away, we miss the departed so much that our hearts break.  Jesus also wept when his friend Lazarus died.   However, at this sorrowful moment,  Jesus made a delightful statement on life after death:  “I am the resurrection and the life.  The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. (John 11:25)

On this basis, we give our departed believers only a temporary farewell because they were rest assured to be in the Lord’s safe hands.  Let us continue to live with a hope of a forever life.[:]
