To the family of David McBride. We are so very sorry for your loss. David was so young. We pray that you will be strengthened to endure as you face the future without him. Death is something that is never welcomed. We must live with it for now, but soon, death will have no sting and wow…death will be no more! At Revelation 21:4 — we find this assurance… “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.” Titus chapter 1, verse 11 tell us that God cannot lie. We can trust him when he promises to do away with death. At Isaiah 25:8 he assures us that “He will acutally swallow up death forever…he will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. When our Lord Jesus walked this earth he performed many resurrections and after his death, the apostles were given the gift also. It helps us to appreciate that a resurrection back to this earth is possible and not impossible with Almighty God Jehovah who can remember every little detail about us. He can reactivate the life pattern of David, which life pattern God has retained in his memory. According to God’s will for David, he will be restored in a human body and yet retain his personal identity, having the same personality and memories as when he died. The provision for resurrection of the dead is a magnificent expression of Jehovah’s underserved kindness; it displays his wisdom and power and is a means by which his original purpose regarding the earth will be carried out. Won’t you seek him out and come to know such a loving God and learn to do his will? You may be alive to welcome David back from the grave. Your tears of sorrow will be turned into tears of joy!!! We love you. Shari Goolsby and Mary Hickem.
