Four 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.
