One memory of James M. Treber

“

Dear Family and Friends:

Reading this has sadden me. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I was touched by what you said to him.

This takes me back to another son who gave his life so that others could live.
That son is Jesus Christ. Through his Ransom sacrifice, the world of mankind now have the opportunity to enjoy life everlasting, on a Paradise Earth.

Under that sacrifice, a Heavenly Kingdom was set up so that all wars, their implements, and things that causes death will be a thing of the pass.

When loved one never have to part, such blessed time will be realized, if you keep your eyes on the prize. When tears belong to yesterday, when fears and pain have passed away, you'll see how God these things supplies, if you keep your eyes on the prize. When all good things will never cease, when Joy and Peace are every where, then too, you'll see the dead alrise, if you keep your eyes on the prize.

Yes God through the Blood of his Son, has promised a Resurrection.

Soon a paradise this earth will be, with eyes of faith this we can see, this promised Christ shall soon fulfill, for he delights to do God's Will.

What a future to look forward to when you will be able to see James Treber again.

John 3:16

I hope that these few words from God's Word the Bible has brought some comfort.

May the God of Comfort keep comforting you each day.
