I am sorry for your loss of Mr. Roberts. Jesus said at John 11:25; ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.’ We have this comforting hope because Psalm 37: 29 and Isaiah 65:21-22 helps us see that there will be a restored earth. 1 Corinthians 15:12-16 tells us that to question the resurrection of loved ones equates to denying the resurrection of Jesus. Thus, we have the hope of seeing our loved ones again.
