Please accept my sincere sympathy for the passing of Mr. Jenson. When death strikes, the pain can be great, but you can endure with the help of the heavenly Father, Jehovah God.-Psalms. 55:22. I hope reflecting on what Jesus says about those who have fallen asleep in death, will bring you comfort. He tells us that there will be a resurrection, when he restores the dead, back to eternal life on the future paradise earth.-Acts 24:15; Luke 23:43; John 11:38-44. What a wonderful blessing awaiting mankind.-Revelation 21:3, 4. May God continue to comfort and bless the Jenson Family.-1 John 4:8.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Ernest W. Jenson. Unfortunately we all have felt the sting of death. But we can find lasting comfort in God's Word the Bible where he promises to restore back to life those who have fallen asleep in death. -Rev 21:3,4 Along with the promise of a resurrection, we can also enjoy the comfort of knowing that God will “swallow up death forever”...Is 25:8,9 I hope this can bring you some comfort in your time of grief. Please take care.
