There are few experiences more difficult than losing a loved one in death. 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; Revelation 21:4)
Further, we are guaranteed the grief and sorrow we experience is temporary. Jesus spoke of the coming resurrection (John 5:21, 28, 29), performed resurrections and was himself resurrected by his Father. All resurrections took place on earth giving us a glimpse of what is to come! (Acts 24:15)
Until these promises are fulfilled, may Jehovah God continue to bless your family & all who knew Mr. Hastings in the days to come.....
