John 11:25-26

John 11:25-26 (NIV)

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?”

In the midst of sorrow and tears, we can hold onto this word, because when we are in Christ, we only leave this earthen vessel to meet our Maker.  It will hurt for a little while, but we know that we will see our loved ones again, as long as they accepted the Lord.  This is why we must minister to the unbeliever, so that they won’t be condemned to an eternity in the lake of fire.
