We know how it is to lose someone close to you, we lost a son a few years back the hurt never goes away but it will dull down in time take heart in knowing that God has plans for reuniting those who have died with those who have not and even with those who have.
Definition: A•na′sta•sis, the Greek word translated “resurrection,” literally means “a standing up again” and it refers to a rising up from death. The fuller expression “resurrection of (from) the dead” is used repeatedly in the Scriptures. (Matt. 22:31; Acts 4:2; 1 Cor. 15:12) The Hebrew is techi•yath′ ham•me•thim′, which means “revival of the dead.” (Matt. 22:23, ftn, NW Reference edition) Resurrection involves a reactivating of the life pattern of the individual, which life pattern God has retained in his memory. According to God’s will for the individual, the person is restored in either a human or a spirit body and yet retains 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 God’s undeserved kindness; it displays his wisdom and power and is a means by which his original purpose regarding the earth will be carried out.
