A Beautiful and Sure Hope / DI Gordon
I enjoyed reading about little Jason his eagerness to learn and be friends and his love of God's creations. I am so sorry for your loss.
I wanted to share with you the words of comfort and encouragement and sure hope I received when I lost my son to "the terrible sting of death" spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15:55. In Revelation 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 anymore. The former things have passed away." Now death does not occur in heaven so this promise is for the earth.
Verse 5 goes on to say. "And the One seated on the throne said: Look! I am making all things new. Also, he says: "Write, because these words are faithful and true." Yes, our Almighty God (Psalms 83:18) has promised. It gives us the expectation of a bright and beautiful future when we will be with our loved ones again (Psalms
37:11). In the Gospel book of John chapter 11 Jesus shares his story of his experience with the death of his friend Lazarus. In part it reads that he "gave way to tears" (John 11:35) when he heard his friend Lazarus had died, although he had the power to resurrect him and did. Lazarus came out of his memorial tomb alive! Jesus certainly understands your loss and will awaken Jason as Jesus also expressed in John 5:28, "Do not marvel at this, the hour is coming in which all those in their memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What a joy that will be! For now your memories of Jason will be with you and what wonderful memories they are. I too will enjoy meeting little Jason. 'When Someone You Love Dies' is a free booklet you may request from any one of Jehovah's Witnesses. This booklet is a wonderful source of information to read along with your Bible of the beautiful and sure hope and keeps our future bright.
In fact it begins with the true story of parents who lost their child to death. Also it gives one practical help through the grieving time. God's loving-kindnesses be with you.
