It is you who have stood by me in my trials, and now I confer a kingdom on you.

"If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied."  (1 Corinthians 15: 19 NIV)

Do you believe in the Resurrection of the dead?  Have you considered the truth that God never requires us to believe in anything that is unreasonable?  God always provides the grounds for belief.  In the case of the certainty of our Resurrection, God reminds us that we are surrounded by clouds of witnesses.  (Hebrews 12 : 1)  Then there is the inward testimony to the truth: Do you seriously think that your departed loved ones have vanished forever?

Our faith is not in vain. Christ is risen.  We shall rise.
