Dear Family: I was very distressed to see the death of your loved one, Mary Lee. Have you ever wondered why we grow old and die? Some sea turtles live to be hundereds of years old, Certain tress have lived to be a thousand. But humans only live 70 or 80 years and then die. Doesn't make sense, does it? Have you ever wondered why? The Bible gives the answer in Romans 5:12 "that is why through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin thus death spread to all men because they all sinned" So from Adam being the father of all men, we inhereited sin and thus share in the fate of our father's death. But will this situation change? Revelation 21:3-5 states:"with that I heard a loud voice from the throne say:"Look! the tent of God is with mankind and he will reside with them and they will be his peoples and God himself will be with them and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away." And the ONe seated on the throne said "look I am making all things new" also he said "write, because these words are faithful and true" So this shows us the sure hope that God will make all things new and he will reside forever with us. We hope this helps to comfort you in your hour of need. May the help from your family and friends be with you. May the comfort from the scriptures ensure your hope for her future. May God continue to bless your family. OUr deepest symapthy be with you.
