Scriptures that bring comfort / J. Schroeck Please accept my condolences for the loss of this man, father, husband, son and friend. These following scriptures are in the bible for any of you to look up to find hope in your time of sorrow. Isaiah 26:19 tells us that someday those who have died will live again! And in connection with that, Psalms 37:29 tells us that "the meek will inherit the earth and they will reside forever upon it." When Jesus was on earth, he showed that he could bring people back to life, as in the case of Lazarus (John 11:11-44) and the little 12 year old girl (Luke 8:40-56). And he will do it again on a worldwide scale. Revelation 21:4 says that soon "God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more."
James 4:8 says to "Draw close to God and he will draw close to you." Reading the bible can bring us so much comfort. I hope that these few verses can help bring some comfort and hope to your lives. |
