Four memories of Joshua R. Ashley

“

My deepest sympathy to the family of Joshua.

When some one we loved die, we mourn. And we may ask: ' What has happened to them? Are they suffering? Will we ever see them again? The world's religions offer differing answers to these questions. What happens at death is no mystery to our God(Jehovah) the creator of all things. In his word the Holy Bible he tells us at Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10- "As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." When a person dies he ceases to exist. Death is the opposite of life. The Bible teaches that many millions of people who are dead in the grave will return to life on earth- read Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15. It was God's original purpose for man to live forever on earth(Genesis 1;26 -31) . In the future by means of a resurrection(John 5:28, 29) all those in in the grave that come back and exercise faith in Jesus by obeying him will see the promises at [ Revelation 20:11-13; Psalms 37: 29. God made hope for the dead possible by sending his Son(Jesus) to die for us[John 3:16]. So, when the dead return to life, whom do you especially want to see?
