To the Family and Friends of Mr Bernard Alexander, please accept my sincere sympathy. Losing a loved one in death brings great grief and pain. I say this because I too have lost loved ones dear to me in death. It stings and hurts deeply. Death is something you will never get accustomed to.
Some persons, even religious leaders, may say that Bernard has gone to a better place, that he's in heaven, but do you know that this is not in agreement with God and who he is? He is a God of love and does not desire for anyone to die.
Ezekiel 18:32 'I do not take any pleasure in the death of anyone,' declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
So God did not take your beloved Bernard away, rather he is asleep, awaiting the resurrection, when Jesus will call his name and he will be brought back to life here on earth and under better conditions, never to die again. (John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs (grave) will hear his voice and come out."
1 Corinthians 15:26 "And the last enemy death is to be brought to nothing)
Do hope these words bring some comfort to you, family and friends, knowing you can see your dear Bernard again. If you will like to learn more about the condition of the dead and the hope for them, feel free to visit our website JW.ORG. Information is free and no registration is required.
