A Superior Hope

Rather than trying to piece together a doubtful framework of past-life experiences shrouded in mystery, why not take time to examine the Bible’s teaching on the resurrection? It provides truly satisfying answers now and great comfort in times of sadness.

For example, Theodore was deeply grieved after losing Rosemarie, his beloved wife of 44 years. He said: “I know Rosemarie is in the safest place possible​—Jehovah’s memory. The Biblical accounts of the resurrection are so sure, with so many witnesses to testify that they actually occurred, that I am waiting to hear Jesus say, as he did to Lazarus: ‘Rosemarie, come on out!’”

Costas and Maria were tragically bereaved of their 20-month-old daughter because of a genetic disorder. Maria says: “The death of Evi, our daughter, was truly painful. From that time on, we have had a much deeper understanding of suffering, death, and the resurrection. Bible verses such as Isaiah 33:24;35:5, 6; and Revelation 21:4, 5 mean so much more to us! Yes, Jehovah has been a loving Father in giving us the sure hope of the resurrection.”The Bible’s answers to questions about life and death come directly from our Creator. Like Theodore, Costas, and Maria, you too can have a trustworthy hope for the future if you build it on the rocklike foundation of God’s Word. It can never lie!​— Titus 1:2.
