To the Family of Bertha Albert,
I too have experienced the loss of a loved one and find it comforting to know that death was not God’s purpose for mankind and his purpose has not changed. God’s word says 'death is an enemy' and promises it will be 'brought to nothing'. (1Corinthians 15:26) Further, Jehovah God guarantees that the grief and sorrow we experience is temporary. (Revelation 21:4). It is because of God’s purpose and great love for us, that he guarantees the restoration of life.
As you know, Jesus not only spoke of the coming resurrection (John 5:21, 28, 29), he himself was resurrected by his Father and performed many miracles including resurrections. So, all resurrections took place on earth giving us a precious glimpse of what is to come.
Because God is a promise keeper (Titus 1:2), we will have the prospect of seeing our loved ones again! (Acts 24:15)
During this difficult time may the reminder of God's promises regarding death and the resurrection serve to provide hope and a measure of peace. (Jeremiah 29:11) As you cherish the many fond memories of Mrs. Albert, may Jehovah God continue to bless your family in the coming days.........
