Although Jesus’s ministry was for only 3 ½ years, it had the greatest impact, than any other event in all of history. Jesus was approachable, & kind, LOVE was the motivation, for everything that Jesus did. Jesus spent his ministry telling the people of the kingdom, healing the sick, expelling demons, & in some cases raising some from the dead. (Rev. 21:3,4) Giving us a glimpse of what is yet to come. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come back to life (John 11:25) May the God of all comfort give you refuge, & strength, in your most difficult time. (2 Cor. 1:3,4). Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 3:16) What a wonderful gift we have been given, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again.
Will keep the family in my prayers during this time of sorrow and mourning.
