Martha and Lawrence are going to be so surprised when they open their eyes and find themselves here with us again. Martha prayed the Lords Prayer many many times but did she realize what the king of that kingdom said he would do? Jesus states that all those in memorial tombs and graves will come to life again here with us. So Martha, as well as many others will enjoy life again under Gods kingdom rule. Sickness, pain and death will be no more and so we will enjoy them forever. What good news about a wonderful day.

I am truly sorry for your familys loss. Jesus promises that those in the memorial tombs will come out. (John 5:28,29) in harmony with Gods original original purpose, those resurrected will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth.(Luke 23:43). This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life. The Bible says: The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it! Psalms 37:29
