Charles has a wonderful future ahead. Its written in black and white in Gods own word the Bible. That future is here on the earth with us. Here is what Jesus says: John 5:28&29;, all those in memorial tombs and graves will come out to life again here with us. He, Jesus, spoke these words to his followers. Later also in the book of John he demonstrated how easy it is for him to resurrect a loved one lost in death. But Charlie has it better than Lazarus because he will wake to a world under Jesus rule. Peace will be the reality and pain, sorrow and death will be no more. What a good day it will be when Charlie wakes up.

What a marvelous event the earthly resurrection will be! It will be a time of irrepressible joy when families broken apart by death will be reunited! Jesus promises that those in the memorial tombs will come out (John 5:28,29). In harmony with Gods original purpose, those resurrected will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43)
