Condolence to the Family of John Alexander Jr.,
There are few experiences more difficult than losing a loved one in death; no doubt Mr. Alexander will be sadly missed. I find comfort in knowing death was not God’s purpose for mankind and his purpose has not changed.
God’s word is clear, “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces”. (Isaiah 25:8). It is comforting to know that the grief and sorrow we experience is temporary. (Revelation 21:4). Further, recorded at Isaiah 26:19 , “Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust!.....And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life”. Because of Jehovah God’s purpose and great love for mankind, the restoration of life is guaranteed!
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. All such miraculous events took place on earth giving us a precious glimpse of what is to come.......seeing our loved ones again! (Acts 24:15)
May Jehovah God continue to bless your family during this difficult time and in the days ahead......
