You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your precious little son, Bradley. While you are grieving, I hope you will find comfort from the Scriptures and the accounts about young children who passed away and restored back to life by the prophets, Elijah and Elisha(I Kings 17:8-24: II Kings 4:8-37) the apostle Paul(Acts 20:7-12)and Jesus Christ when he restored a young girl back to life, just imagine the parent's joy. And when he saw a funeral procession of the only son of a widow; he approached the bier, touched the young boy and restored him back to life.(Luke 7:11-15;.Luke 8:49-56). Just imagine the joy when Jesus in the near future, resurrect and restore millions back to life on the renewed Paradise earth and you are reunited with your loved one. Until then, may GOD (Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this time of sorrow.-John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43; Matthew 5:4.
I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope you will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)when he will awaken those who are sleeping in death and restoring them back to life on the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4; John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. Until that glorious time when. you are reunited with your loved one again; may GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
