How Do We???

Following is a series of questions, all of which have the same answer. How long will it take you to figure it out?

What is it that gives a widow courage as she stands beside a fresh grave?

What is the ultimate hope of the cripple, the amputee, the abused, the bum victim?

How can the parents of brain-damaged or physically handicapped children keep from living their entire lives totally and completely depressed?

Why would anyone who is blind or deaf or paralyzed be encouraged when they think of the life beyond?

How can we see past the martyrdom of some helpless hostage or devoted missionary?

Where do the thoughts of a young couple go when they finally recover from the grief of losing their baby?

When a family receives the tragic news that a daughter was found dead or their dad was killed in a plane crash or a son overdosed on drugs, what single truth becomes their whole focus?

What is the final answer to pain, mouming, senility, insanity, terminal diseases, sudden calamities, and fatal accidents?

By now I'm sure you've guessed correctly. The hope of our resurrection when Jesus returns to claim His own is the greatest source of comfort and hope the world has evet known.

Jesus said, "'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. "

John 11:25
