Jack may not be here now but he has a wonderful future ahead. He will be resurrected to life again with us. According to Gods word the Bible, in the book of John, all those in memorial tombs and graves will come out to life again with us. Jack will be like Lazarus, he will enjoy life with us and never taste death again. Thanks to our wonderful Father the future is laid out and its a great one. In the Lords Prayer, his kingdom will be ruling over a world at peace and the original purpose for us will be carried out. It will be a wonderful day for all.
