Dear family of Te Wa’u
So very sorry to read of the tragic loss your family has suffered.
I wish to share comfort from the Bible with grieving family members at this sad time.
The Bible teaches that one day in the near future our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of the ransom sacrifice of his son, Jesus,will reunite us with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection right here on earth in paradise conditions that will be filled with peace, happiness, and perfect health for everyone..
These texts are found at John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:9-11,29; in your Bible.
