    Three memories of Kenneth W. Bennett

    My deepest sympathy to the family of Kenneth on the loss of a dear loved one.

    When we lose a loved one in death, the pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God's Word for comfort.

    The Bible can help us to answer such questions as: Is there a remedy for death? If so, what hope is there for the dead? Will we ever see our loved ones again?

    The Bible tells of an occasion when Jesus resurrected the only son of the widow of Nain, what joy she must have experienced!- Luke 7:11-17. This account involving this widow of Nain shows that the resurrection is the sure remedy for death. Under the rule of his Kingdom, the heavenly King Jesus Christ will resurrect untold numbers of people to life her on earth-but under peaceful and righteous conditions.(Acts 24:15; 3 Peter 3:13; Psalm 37: 29; Luke 23:43) This is in harmony with God's original purpose for man and the earth, Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones!

    This knowledge also makes it easier to bear the pain that we experience when losing a close friend or relative in death.

    Hi To the friends and family of Kenneth I would like to express my deepest condolences. These are sad times that we are living in and losing some is heartbreaking but I would like to share Two hopes that bible holds out one at Revelations 21:4 it reads And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more the former things have passed away and also at John 5:28,29 it reads Do Not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb will hear.his voice and come out hopefully in your time of sadness this can give some comfort
