To the family and friends of Akeel Clarke please accept my condolences. It must really pain you to loose your loved one in death. It's always painful and shocking when we loose someone in death, it's something none of us could get accustom to.
No matter who we are or where we live, no one really wants to die. Because we were all created with the desire to live forever. The bible says that at Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart; yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish". So because of this desire to live, we always make plans for tomorrow. But you might wonder then, why do we die? Will death ever end? Well, the bible does offer a wonderful hope. At Isaiah chapter 25 and verse 8 "He will swallow up death forever,And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,For Jehovah himself has spoken it". So Almighty God Jehovah promises to remove death not just for a while, but forever. How comforting that is to know? We can put trust in God's words because there are many Bible accounts of persons who were raised from the dead. So he can and will do so in the near future.
