Me: Good day. Here we meet again.
You: Yes o. Good morning.
Me: What happened? I’ve been coming to this area for quite some weeks after we met the other time but it looks like you’ve not been around. Did you travel?
You: Yes I did. After I lost my cousin it has been a big issue for me. Staying in the house has been tough and I just needed some time off to get myself back on track. I needed also to organize a few things, The house rent, how to also dispose of some of her belongings and I was quite down with grief at the same time.
Me: It must have been tough for you. How have you been able to sustain yourself in all of this?
You: This is the first time I will lost a person who is my family member and living in the same house with me. It has not been easy at all. This person has been there for me for years, supporting me ever since she moved in with me. We share a lot of values and have the same taste when it comes to things like music, entertainment, food, and education. So sad she’s no more here with me. But let me ask: So I will never see her again?
Me: The thought of not seeing your cousin again is really depressing but God has promised otherwise.
You: What do you mean?
Me: May I read a verse to you from the Holy Book? It promises an end to many of the things that make us sad. Revelation 21:4. (Read). What does this verse say about death?
You: It says death will be no more. So I will see her again? Really?
Me: Doesn’t that sound comforting? All those negative things mentioned are attached to death and pain. Isn’t it comforting for you to know that soon all the pain you feel now will be gone forever? For us, we know that God is not responsible for the pain and death we suffer now, and we know he will bring back our dead loved ones in the future. Would you like me to come by and show you something on the ressurection?
You: Resurrection? What’s that?
Me: That is the raising up of those dead in the grave to life. God by means of his son has promised to do that. Next when I come, I will like us to talk about this hope.
You: Sure, I will like to hear it. Thank you for sharing this Bible passage.
