THE HOPE OF THE RESURRECTION
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment……….John 5: 28 and 29.
Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.” The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life…….John 11:25.
We look forward In the near future that the bible promise at Isaiah 33:24 will certainly come true. “And no resident” will say: “I am sick.”
